Well, I wanted 4 of these in a RAID-0 array for the ultimate in quickness. I was hoping for about 900MB/s reads, 300MB/s writes, and negligible seek times. The 3ware controller card that I'm using gives me dismal performance in RAID-0, and ICH10R doesn't scale past 600MB/s no matter how many drives I hook up to it. I can either compromise performance on what was supposed to be a no compromises setup, I can spend more yet again (already pushed past the limit) on a better RAID card, or I can just sell them and wait for later. These drives showed up at my house on Friday, December 12, 2008, so they are like new.
