" The most useful application of drives like this are in ultra-demanding server RAID-5 systems, and that kills off that entire arena.Just watch: the relabeled "server" version will have the industry-standard connectors on it, wait and see. Talk about a sneaky way to sock business customers for some extra dough. vault, on 06/28/2008, -0/+7 Well if it were truly demanding you'd probably use scsi to begin with. I see raptors as being mostly for gamers, a/v workstations, enthusiast/power users, etc.They probably will come out with a new version though...I was reading a while ago transintl is coming out with a bracket to work around this anyway. KibibyteBrain, on 06/28/2008, -1/+7 Enterprise with their money would opt for more, more reliable server grade drives in RAID 10 for a per"

" For example, one could have a very robust RAID-1 partition for important files, and a less robust RAID-5 or RAID-0 partition for less important data. (Some high-end hardware controllers offer similar features, e.g. Intel Matrix RAID.) Using two partitions on the same drive in the same RAID is, however, dangerous. If, for example, a RAID 5 array is composed of four drives 250 + 250 + 250 + 500 GB, with the 500-GB drive split into two 250 GB partitions, a failure of this drive will remove two partitions from the array, causing all of the data held on it to be lost. . . Hardware RAID controllers use different, proprietary disk layouts, so it is not usually possible to span controllers "
