its the speed the discs spin.. 7200rpm is revolutions per minute the faster they spin the quicker the transfer of data :rolleyes:
10,000 is faster. Usually scsi drives are that fast not IDE.
ok men...thats the OBVIOUS lol..what does faster RPMs mean though??? whats the extra 120 bux for??
One word --- SPEED.
Revolutions Per Minute.
Faster rotation means faster data transfer speed. Better performance.
did i not explain meself properly in the first place :lol:
harsh but true lol :lol:
ok thanx Somebody and the other person who gave me a legit answer and didnt call me a dumbass
Didn't you just post this a while back: A few hours ago? Quote by bigdawgfoxx himself <_<You seemed to know what you were talking about there. Why are you asking a question to which you have the knowledge already?Quote:
I wouldnt buy RAID or SCIS or whatever...i mean it spins faster..big deal and its smaller and WAY to much money..i like ata or w/e...get a good 80 or 120 GB one for cheap!
max transfer rate on 7200rpm hdd ~100Mbps
max transfer rate on scsi hdd ~160Mbps
we are way past the point now...........swwweeeeetBeeeeeeJEEESUS :D
haha well i didnt know what the speed meant..i just knew i wouldnt pay that much for it...thanx 3rd gen noob for the specs ;)
Fox, alot of people buy those drives for server's. U can't have a page load fast if your running a slow hard drive with your stuff on it that people have to pull info from.
And others, are people who just wanna buy expesnive shit, and brag about 15k 36GB drives in their sigs.
ok this thing became like a hot topic in less then a min...that must be some kind of record lololol
