price per gb per watt hour = massive ripoff in operating expenses
they use 6.08watts each… 12.16 watts for 300GB of storage is not good
fun memorabilia to put on display on the shelf!
no you can definitely say no
Hehehehe, blast from the past. I used to have two in RAID0 in my gaming rig back in the day. 🤘
Came here to say this. Think I had a 40gb.
only time I ever stroked and striped a pair outside of a data center. So much noise tho.
1337 mode: engaged but rusty
One of those requires more power than two modern 22 TB drives, lol.
I could have said no. These are nothing more than ewaste today.
What a blast from the past! I still have my 74GB floating around somewhere.
I just shucked one of these and threw it in my R730 today haha!
Hey don’t forget the 150 gb model they made with the transparent window to see it working.
That was so damn cool back then.
Window kit on the side panel Chrome skull fan grills with the LED eyes CCFL blue tube in the bottom Then add in a HDD raptor with a window kit
You’d be king of the lan party
I’ve modded a old HDD with a cutout in the top case, and glued a plastic layer over it. was cool to see.
Didn’t last more than a hour before it was dead.
It feels like a missed opportunity to still not reuse the velociraptor name for high end ssd’s or something.
True but after the Raptor they pretty much designated the “Black” label for high performance and gaming. I bought the 1TB Black when it first came out and it outperformed my 150GB 10kRPM Raptor even though it was only 7200RPM
Offtopic: I just bought a Lexar M.2 with 4TB for 189€, the price range is getting very good! They are advertised with 7GB read/write… let’s see what your Velociraptors can do :D
Had 2x 10000rpm ones in raid in the day playing wow…
ok so that is like 4 people that did this and that is wild to me.
Did you stroke your partitions or just raid?
Just to be sure, these were discontinued, right?
My video editing PC had two 500GB velociraptors in RAID-0.
Very fast at the time, though I’m sure it would feel sluggish compared to my current NVMe
Aren’t any modern HDDs faster? Even 5400 rpm HDDs because when capacity grows one rotation of the disk will contain more data.
