10,000 Rpm the fastest HD's now for Desktops?
 

or are there faster ones?

Faster. Western Digital has a 15000 RPM SATA Raptor.

I think scci drives are faster, but dont quote me on that.

EDIT: scsi

Niceee let me check it out now brb :pimp

what kind of hd? i think serial ata only goes up to 10k rpm... i think after that you have to go scsi

10rmp is enought i got a 2.8 xeon 2 gigs ram 10rpm sata and i dont see a need for anything faster.

ya i think 15 is the fastest available right now

I saw a benchmark test between some high-speed SCSI drive and the WD Raptor..of course the Raptor blew it away.

holy cow, they have a 15k sata hd now!

any info on this 15k rpm one? links?

Dang nice! Are they as reliable as scsi's?

Not sure, haven't bought myself any yet :thumbsup

There is *no* 15K rpm SATA drive :2 cents: only SCSI.

I havent heard of this ether - besides the jump from 10K to 15K would be huge for platter speed - as well issues of balance - etc... physical limits are coming into play - if you want real speed - the ultimate in speed - you should really look at Solid State Disk technologies - expensive - but fast as hell:

the 15k drives are real flaky. they seem to want to burn up in less than a year. :2 cents:

If you want 15k HDD, order scsi hdd's.

Just make sure that if you are going to burn the cash on a drive like that, that you get it in a terrabyte size.
