(1) if there is no other disk activity (or minimal activity), with no real programs running in the background, the FC will match the files about 50% of the time, otherwise it has mismatches from bad reads I then used the CMD prompt's FC (file compare) command. Overall Review: I took a 700MB file that was on my seagate and copied it to my raptor, being careful not to doĪnything else during the copy. After removing jumper to enable 3G performance, I got a ton of read errors. just not so sure about the 3G performance.Ĭons: See below. Toms Hardware had a good article a while back about the 150G Raptor vs a 7200 RAID-0 setup and came to the about same conclusion. Not trying to put the cudas down just a little reality. Id say at least half of the time consuming tasks stayed about the same. System utility programs like defragers and cleaners etc. Programs load FAST! Even progs like Adobe progs, were always a problem but now they take less then a second. Its not a huge difference by any means but there are some big things. Its probably the most notable speed improvement Ive experienced from a single upgrade. Recently I changed to a Raptor for my system and prog drive from the barracudas.

Ive been using them about 6 months now.Ĭons: I cant complain. I saw minimal improvements in average windows performance (Games, other programs, explorer, system maintanence progs like defragers, scans. I took the advice of many here and got 2. Pros: I bought 2 of these drives for a high powered gaming build.
