Should I Replace an Old SATA 1.5 Raptor

Featured Replies

Hi All,Finally getting around to upgrading my computer. For my FS9 dedicated drive, I have a 74 gig 1.5 SATA raptor. Great drive in 2006, but it is SATA 1.5. It is still fast, of course, in terms of access and latency and all, but it is a SATA 1.5 drive and I just have no idea how my data FS is actually pumping out. I'm not sure I want to pony up the cash for a new raptor (Since SSD drives are starting to sound attractive), but I do have a couple of spare WD Caviar Black drives I could use as my dedicated FS drive. So, here's the question: should I keep my old 1.5 SATA raptor for FS2004 drive, or, should I swap it out for a 640gb Caviar Black drive I have from another machine?ThanksStephen

Other than access latency (how quickly a file can be found), that 1st-gen Raptor is easily surpassed by modern 7200 RPM drives like the 640GB Caviar Black you have. Great drive btw, I've got several of the Blue models of those drives in various machines.
