Just arrived a Seagate 7200.11 1TB drive for testing. I am going to migrate my RAID 0+1 over to this drive and make 2 partitions. Will be interesting testing a single drive versus a RAID 0.

The new drive sitting in a test bed at work averaged a sustained read average of 85.5MB in HD Tach. Also Burst at 250MB.

The 320GB drive got a 65.1MB average sustainded and a burst at 219MB.

Hmmm would like to know how the two compare as tested. That is one heck of an upgrade. Imagine a couple of these on RAID 0!:jawdrop:

That is freakin huge, and it even has speed for the size. Very nice.

I would not get 1TB unless if you are working with videos and really big Photoshop files, or any type of media files. Sometimes those can take up a bunch of space, but still 1TB is a lot. :) Right now I am running a total of 220GB with two hard drives and that is totally enough for me. But One day I will want to upgrade to two 500GB hard drives. :)
