SATA RAIDing With Maxtor @ Bjorn3D

"My first experience with RAID was definitely a good one thanks to the simple setup of Intel RAID and the good performance offered by the Maxtor hard drives. If you must have fast disk performance or redundancy, then I recommend taking a look the Maxtor SATA drives for your RAID setup."
As many of you know we've been using RAID setups here in the Ninjalane Labs for quite some time now and though many of the more vocal tech authorities would say IDE RAID is bogus it does increase performance and/or redundancy (on the hardware level) with the only serious drawback being the extra cash involved to buy the extra drives.

Although I agree with most of the article I would say the better RAID solution is with 10k RPM WD Raptor drives, though the Maxtor and Seagate SATA drives are good you can’t beat the speed of the Raptor. Then again I don’t need any more than 80Gigs of storage on my main workstation either. (btw: that’s what network servers are for)
