THx Dospac.. but i dont really care if they believe, point im trying to make is that 10,000rpm hds in raid 0 rock.

Now for ALL of you that flipped out at me about bsing... i dont BS... here r OTHER customer reviews:

"EXTREMELY FAST!!! I am no longer left staring at Windows boot up screen...boots up in under 7 seconds!!" (thats with only 1 drive... 2 of em in raid 0 is much better.)

"Got the hard drive installed without issue. First time loggin into windows, I was from the boot sreen to useable in 4 seconds. "

"Really, really fast... Windows and context menus open instantly with this drive, and my entire system seems more responsive. As far..."

but dont take my word for it,go here to see reviews for ur self:

PS: try finding the one that some guys says it actually increased his fps in a game from 35 to 80!

pshh 101 is nothin. What res and AA/AF settings? I get ~120FPS in 1280x1024 8xAF 2xAA w/HL2's settings maxed. However, in-game is a different story. In CS:S I average 80-100+ fps but it dips into the 50-60 range w/lots of action and players on screen.

Res is same as urs and AA/AF maxed this is without my card overclocked though cuz Vtuner 2 crashed my sys once and now im waiting for the new version and another case fan b4 im going to OC it to >Ultra speeds.
