Raptor X mount on armor PICS

[super2007]

well got my raptor x drive, so for a TEST i mounted it, with screws holes on the bottom of armor case, 2 screws fit perfect with raptor screw holes in the bottom side, so i just screwed 2 screw on the bottom

i wanted to get clear view, didn't have that much time or knowledge to mount with some extra tools or ideas..

at first vista install it start making alot of noise, but now its cool, doesn't move at all,

well yes, but no, overlclocked e6850 3.6, idle 40c load 56c, why pay $60 on t 120 extreme, when this works fine for me..

isnt a rugular 7200.11 hdd with 32mb faster than a raptor 150 x?

i really dont no man, some ppl say it is, some say it isn't...i really dont like it to be honest, very noisey and speed increase ins't much, i got this from bestbuy...so might return it in day or two...

Moving sequential files, sure, but the Raptor is no slouch there either. Running the OS and apps, no. The .11 is an average performing drive. If you want to ditch the Raptor, I'd get the new WD 320/640GB AAKS model which will be a better performer than the .11 easily.

Objection, states facts not in evidence your honor.

tusken, I'm not really trying to be an *** and you are obviously a smart guy, but please try to avoid stating things as facts when they are actually just opinion or informed guesswork. You certainly come across as just having an anti-Seagate bias.

So much for the hype eh?

Sorry I have to be the "anti-Seagate" guy who owns a couple of Seagates(always bought on sale and for storage only). This forum needs a sobering balance to the pro-Seagate lemmings. The Seagates(.7-.11) have been proven to be average performers many times over. This is fact yet lemmings continully recommend Seagate drives as some Raptor alternative. Don't think the Raptor is worth it, fine, there are cheaper, lessor options out there to dissapoint you. Hard drive improvements run on a much smaller scale. The technology is slow by nature. Anyway, plenty of reviews show the AAKS drives besting the .11 drives. Then put those results together with the denser platters of these new models and you'll have an even better drive. So maybe a little assumption on the new drive, but since the old platter versions are better already, I don't think it's a leap in logic. If you disagree, I'll take your wager...........

Indeed, I didn't disagree that the new WD *might* be better than the Seagate. As you probably know, I have one of the new 320GB/platter WD drives. I was just pointing out that you seemed to be stating something as a fact when it appeared to be opinion.

To be fair, I should probably point out that you're hardly the only person on the Internet guilty of that particular crime...

Hehe, don't feel bad, me and tusker have to prod each other from time to time ;-)

That is a cool mount. I see it is a test mount, what will the final solution be?
