| 571425 | 2007-07-22 09:56:00 | My motherboard has sata 2. Can I run a sata 1 hard disk on it? I want to get a Raptor 10,000 rpm disk. will it run on my comp. in company with 2 sata 2 7400 disks? |

| 571427 | 2007-07-22 11:58:00 | I have been told unless you are moving small files a Sata 2 is just as quick as a raptor. Raptors are expensive though I relise money is no problem to you Jack. Sata 2 500g $251. Raptor 150g $439. Trevor :) |

| 571428 | 2007-07-22 13:15:00 | The 150gb Raptors are faster, WD tweaked the firmware. SATA 2 is a load of bollocks, whats the point in a faster interface if your drives cant saturate the existing one? The only benefits of SATA 2 drives is that they also happen to have more cache and NCQ. Raptor FTW | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||
| 571429 | 2007-07-22 18:43:00 | Thanks for the info. I need the fastest hdd I can get. Now I have decent componants my drive can't keep up with them. |

| 571432 | 2007-07-22 22:11:00 | So what are you going to do when FsXI comes out? :eek: | pctek (84) | ||
| 571433 | 2007-07-23 05:47:00 | it's true there's currently no benefit from SATA II, guess pc manufacturers are trying to future proof with the standard, just like how the first pci-express cards weren't any better than AGP at the time but who'd go back now? As far as I know they still have'nt built a single drive that could max out the old ATA 133 bus let alone SATA I or II, but it'll happen one of these days |
