I <3 my 4890. Won it here at OCA. Never giving it up Granted I aint run it in a while.. I was concectrating on 2d. I slapped a waterblock to it recently.. cant wait to see how that turns out.. still trying to find a sub $40-60+shipping alternative to adding a set of QDC... thinking about some cheap PVC ball valves. let the mini loop drain who cares? Ill take care of it. (also have some crap nVidia stuff with GPUs.. only reason I care 3 GPU blocks might be restrictive or I would hook them all up and go with it)

Shoot, you know how many/what kinda multi-boot os's I can fit on there! Ordered!

Doh, anyone know if the interface is backwards compatible with the old sata?

The google answer: Yes

You should have no problems supes. Just got my Sata 3 Crucial Technology Micron SSD up and running and wondering why I fooled around with them platters for so long. Never going back. Though I would like to see the performance of that Raptor on my Asus mobo.

Honestly, I get faster windows load times using my Raptor Raid array than a single Intel SSD. I'm also not too impressed over a single raptors performance in regards to sotp feel in teh os.

Still need to Raid these two ssd's to get a true feel of powa tho

Here is a quick preview of my new ssd. I borked something in the registry or something and it is running a little slower now on this install than my previous install. Reads were around 320 ish and writes 200 ish. Been reading of people getting reads of 350 and writes of 210 out of these though. How on earth they did that I wish I knew. I'll get the kinks out this weekend hopeful and will start my thread on this latest build. I tell you what though, I have never seen Windows load so fast than with this.

So far I prefer even 7200 rpm raid over my ssd.

I cant wait to get home and try out vrap raid


WOW 330MB/s read is fast. I only get 240 on mine reactor 60gb.
