    Time to upgrade.

    I'm going to sell this if I have a buyer lined up. Once the buyer is lined up I'll order up my new hard drive, swap the data and give them the drive. Hand raisers can GTFO.

    74 gig western digital raptor. Here's the full specs:

    Model
    Brand Western Digital
    Series Raptor
    Model WD740ADFD
    Performance
    Interface SATA 1.5Gb/s
    Capacity 74GB
    RPM 10000 RPM
    Cache 16MB
    Average Seek Time 4.6ms
    Average Write Time 5.2ms
    Average Latency 2.99ms
    Physical Spec
    Form Factor 3.5"

    This drive is a screamer. Works perfect, just too small for my application now. Like I said before, once I have the buyer lined up it will be about a week or so until I can get you the drive. It is currently in use.

    Asking $80 obo.

    When was it purchased and do you have the original receipt?

    If not, perhaps you'd be willing to go online and check the manufacture date on WD's website by entering the serial #.

    Asking to determine remaining warranty period.

    Heh, not a chance, you will need a 2.5" hard drive for that. This is strictly for a desktop PC.

    This is what you'll want - only $109, and most MBP users report a HUGE upgrade in performance (in addition to bumping 120GB to 320GB)

    2.5" hard drive is what you need, I think. Prolly just a typo. The raptor is a standard 3.5" desktop hard drive and most laptop drives are 2.5"

    Bump up for this. I used to run one.
    However, putting 2 into a RAID stripe is even better! :biggrin:

    Mine. I want it. I have $80 sitting in a drawer waiting for you to get your replacement.

    It will be RAID'd with my other 74GB 10k WD Raptor. :yumyum:

    Got it and replied.


    Yeah, except my Asus Deluxe loaded-with-everything motherboard takes FOREVER to POST and I can't seem to do anything to reduce it - it's actually got me thinking of swapping mobo's (except dual integrated gigabit nics, 802.11b/g, more RAID controllers than you can shake a stick at including IDE-SATA bridged RAID weirdness, etc. makes it hard to give up).

    It's also got a 400GB data drive, 4GB PC6400 RAM, Nvidia 8800GTS, dual 20" LCD's, etc., etc. :yumyum::yumyum::yumyum:

    Oh man. My computer is on its last leg. Mobo won't see more than 512 megs of RAM. :(

    Also, if its unplugged for a while, it has to sit overnight plugged in to get it to boot up. ha, NEVER get a Gigabyte board. :(

    The old 1.5 SATA drives are 3.5". The newer 3.0 SATA uses a 2.5" drive is a large heat sink.
