Ok did I do something wrong or what? After all the reviews I have read on the raptor I was hyped and had to have one. I ordered it threw it in my machine and was ready to be impressed. Well I wasn't and considering the money I was dissappointed.
I replaced a wd 7200rpm ide drive with a raptor and the speed gains are very small and only noticed with booting. Nothing in gaming. My machine will boot about one loading bar faster with the raptor than with the ide drive. Load times in battlefield 2 are the same. I went from 200 gb to 74gb and wasted a lot of money to boot.
In the group I play games with one guy is running the exact machine I am except for he has two seagate 7200rpm drives in raid and a gig less memory and he is beating me into servers. Another guy is running pretty close to me just a little lower end mobo and memory and running and ide drive and he is beating me into servers. My connection is even faster than the guy with the ide drive.
I am running the raptor and an ide drive. Is the ide drive pulling my system down for some reason? I use the raptor for my OS and my games and use the ide drive for storage.
I copied my boot drive to the raptor and did not do a fresh windows install due to the hassell of reloading everything. Could something not be configured correctly?
If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them so maybe I can be as excited about the raptor as everyone else seems to be.
