I inherited two Western Digital Raptor 74G SATA drives. They run at 10,000
rpm, 4.5 seek time. I was prepared to be unimpressed, but they are
phenomenonly fast and quiet. I strongly recommend them.
I am running them as a RAID 0, connected directly to the motherboard, using
linux software RAID.
If you want hardware RAID, 3ware seems to be the ticket.
hdparm -Tt /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
Timing cached reads: 3080 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1538.70 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 410 MB in 3.00 seconds = 136.46 MB/sec
Not cheap, but I think they're worth every nickel.
