Hey, I've got four 74GB 10,000 WD Raptors and a 250GB 7200RPM HDD in my computer, none of which are in RAID and I want to know what kind of transfer rates I should be seeing with my Raptors. I just did a real-world benchmark and it told me I'm getting 54.948MB/s from Raptor 1 to Raptor 2. Is this correct or should I be getting more?Also, how much of an improvement would I get if I were to RAID 0 my drives(2 Raptor drives after RAID 0 in My Computer, right?).What should the Transfer Rate be from a 10K RPM Raptor to another 10k RPM Raptor
Are these large files? Small files transfer a lot slower. Just to give you an estimate I can copy large files on my 3x320 hds in RAID 0 to itself at 90 MB/s write.What should the Transfer Rate be from a 10K RPM Raptor to another 10k RPM Raptor
[QUOTE=''JigglyWiggly_'']Are these large files? Small files transfer a lot slower. Just to give you an estimate I can copy large files on my 3x320 hds in RAID 0 to itself at 90 MB/s write.[/QUOTE] I just re-ran the test with a 6GB file from one drive to another, it wrote at 55MB/S. The original post's speed was a 230MB file. Also, what do you mean to itself? There's a create file option with the benchmark tool I'm using, do you want the results from that?(Sorry if I don't respond today, I'm going to bed very soon)
Well I don't use any real benchmarks I just copy the file from one part of it to another (copy and paste). I just looked at what Win 7 said to see the speed :P
well your hdd are in raid 0 so im guessing it should be faster. wonder if it makes a big difference that your moving stuff inside the same hdd while the OP is transfering between 2 hdds.

What's the estimated transfer rate of my HDD?Hmmm, that was transfering from Raptor to 7200RPM drive.Just did Raptor to Raptor, it hovered around 65-68MB/s.
Raid 0 should be faster but I don't think it will make a massive difference.

I figured that RAID 0 will be double my current speed, seeing as RAID 0 turns 2 drives into one which means only half of the info of a file has to be copied to each.
