SCISI > ALL ( IDE and SATA have yet to brake the 15,000 rpm spindle speed)



Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

And it's break. not brake.

I don't beleive SCSI drives are spinnign faster than 15k RPM either, certainly not anythign you can buy over the counter.

Raptors are the fastest IDE drives there are though, at 10k rpm. And to be fair they do bear a lot of 10k rpm SCSI disks in a lot of benchmarks.

As good as they no doubt are, I'm not sure how good value they are for a standard gaming machine.
