所以我才覺得WD出了一堆號稱"企業級"的硬碟來吊吊消費者胃口

真的企業級環境裡 伸腳一踢不是踢到HITACHI就是SEAGATE......WD那是啥?能吃嗎?

迅猛龍算是PC理硬碟佼佼者~畢竟沒有廠商願意出萬轉SATA硬碟時 WD敢做出來賣 (當然我也買了一顆XD)

不過說實在的.....企業級的設備上一堆10K 15K等的SAS(3Gbps/6Gbps) 跟 FiberChannel(4Gbps)硬碟 以迅猛龍這種10K SATA II的硬碟想要玩企業級的市場我是覺得很難

wd應該是要吃下高階pc這一塊
畢竟沒有其他廠有同質的產品.....
況且，事實也証明wd做的很成功
跟其他產品區隔又兼獨佔(單指萬轉pc市場而言)

有沒有可能要跟SSD拼速度 所以單碟200G捨棄掉較慢的內圈50G
藉此提高傳輸速度 不然SSD速度這麼快 很容易被巴假的(少輸為贏!?)

真的拿SSD跟高轉速硬碟(例如說這篇在討論的迅猛龍)的操作經驗來比較
其實到最後會發現其實SSD跟高轉速硬碟應該是不同市場的東西

SSD讀取普通大小的檔案無敵快 但是寫入跟讀取小Block爆慢->所以SSD適合當系統/常用應用程式碟 但是不適合把暫存檔放上面
高轉速硬碟正好相反 拿來放暫存檔超好用 但是拿來當系統/常用應用程式碟會被SSD痛宰

所以最後個人的配置是->系統放SSD上 暫存檔去撿二手的中暴龍
個人抓的音樂跟漫畫放7200轉的梭魚上 牧場就拜託LP了...

我一開始也這樣猜...真的這樣也許可以快了20% seek time
效能跟ssd打還是完全無勝算，但是在容量的絕對優勢上又少了一點
不過話又說回來，買這種東西都當系統碟，150gb照理很夠了
假如真的這樣做我還是樂意接受的
我一直想說假如一台7200rpm的3.5吋HDD只用外面1/3圈
容量雖然只剩下1/2左右，但是速度也可以提升很多嗎？

剛剛找到國外測試
感覺很變態

雖然家裡的暴龍和迅猛龍一直用不壞
但是還是會入手
雖然一直想買X25
但還是算了
怕死
