Hi guys, After a few problems i have now managed to intall a matching pair of WD Raptors 10000rpm on Raid zero.... Just so you guys know what kind of performance these bad boys give... managed to load in windows 2000 pro in 5 Mins ..!!! yes 5 mins after main format...!!! Im my old HDD (maxtor 7200rpm) i remember it taking at least 20 mins...lol .. These bad boys are so quick... go out and buy some if you can afford them...

Been running them about three months under raid 0 with a amd 3200 processor and a gig of pc3200 memory modules on a asus board. You can really tell a differance in things like defrag, running adaware and video encoding. They are nice but very pricey! I sprung for the 74 gig drives from newegg. No problems installing and none of any kind as of yet. 5 year warranty on the drives from western digital. May God forgive, and bless the United States.

They are great now they are in.... the problem i had was with the bios.... the was a prob with sata drives not booting without a ps2 mouse plugged in...lol .. that took me ages to find out.. Ive now upgraded my bios and all things are running like clockwork now.. lol.
