Sata?
ok SATA150 and SATA 3.0Gb/s ... can you run one on the other? What is the best way to get the drives to perform the fastest?
for the SATA150 the 10,000RPMs -Avg. Latency time is about 2.9ms -Avg. seek time is about 4.5ms -Avg. Write time is about 5.2ms for the SATA 3.0Gb/s 7,200RPMs -Avg. Latency time is about 4.2ms -Avg. seek time is about 8.9ms -Avg. Write time is about 10.9ms now im not sure if because the SATA 3 is 2times faster if that means the times are cut in half? But if its not ture can i run a SATA150 drive on a SATA3.0 mother board? Last edited by RateBuddha; 12-08-2007 at 04:54 AM. |

Re: Sata?
Yes you can run an sata150 drive on a mobo that supports sata3.0, they are backward compatible. Neither drive is capable of saturating the bandwidth alloted, hence the raptor (10,000 rpm) is still slightly faster than the 7200 rpm 3.0 drive. Since each sata channel is independent of each other each drive will perform to the best of its abilities, there should be no real settings to play with if the bios detects them properly.
