Clueless, check your own facts.
Barracuda 7200.7, Samsung SpinPoint P80, WesternDigital WD2500, Deskstar
180GXP, DiamondMax+9, all ~55MB/s, just like the WD360 Raptor.

Clueless. You failed to list the average access time.
See!?!

Fraudulent snip ignored. You got it wrong again.
Never said it didn't.

Obvously as you never thought of it. I SAID THAT.

Average access time and sustained transfer rate are the correct terms and
not throughput.
 
Not so expensive if you can live with a 36G,

Had one of those traded it for a 74Gb when I read the reports on it
being a little faster and quieter than the 36Gb version. Dont know
about quieter as my Coolermaster case with 2 inlet and 2 outlet fans
aint quiet to begin with but the 74Gb is marginally quicker.
 
Nope the Silicon Image Bios does not permit you
to choose which drive to boot from...

Hmm, sorry to say this, but it just doesn't make any sense. You should be
able to change the drive boot sequence. Maybe changing the drive boot
sequence doesn't include ATA hard drives, but I strongly doubt it.

Bullshit. Hibernate and STR both run off ATX 5VSB, less than 10watts. The CPU,
drives, and fans are all off. RAM is also refreshed in STR.

You can change the Main Bios boot sequence which allows you to set the
Silicon Image device (set it to Scsi for this) as first boot device
but to choose which drive of the 2 (if you have 2 drives connected to
the Serial ATA controller) you normally go into the Controllers Bios
setup screens (Well with every other Scsi and SATA device I've used
that is the case) There does not appear to be any such option on the
Asus AN7X -E Deluxe that I currently use.

I could be mistaken but I thought S4 turns off more than S3..
Where S4 would normally keep the PSU fan going and S3 wouldnt..
But shrug.. I guess I could be getting them confused.
