At last...
For the sake of posterity (I think it is)... here is a direct comparison between a 3 x 36Gb Raptor Raid0 matrix array and a 3 x Seagate 500Gb 32Mb cache perp matrix array.
I left the 3 x 36Gb Raptor C partition as it was in the Matrix (49Gb) but shrunk it using Vista to 25Gb and ran fresh tests to compare those results with the Seagates, the only major difference being the size of the raid0 partitions... the Raptor one is 49Gb in the matrix with a 25Gb C drive in that. The Seagate one is a 12Gb matrix partition, used fully for D drive.
I have to say, I am very impressed with the Seagates, even though the 12Gb partition is completely empty (I'm gonna install XP-Pro in it) and all the tests were run from my Vista 64-bit C-drive install.
Enjoy!
