It can't be too loud, or it wouldn't have made it onto the Silent PC Review Recommended Hard Drive List. As for performance increase, I've heard that setting one of these as your OS (boot) drive with programs, and moving your data partitions and swap drive to a secondary drive, gives excellent Windows load and program load times.Originally posted by: isekii
is this thing loud ?
how much performance increase would I see compared to a 7200RPM Drive ?

Good find OP!
These are excellent drives and this is a real good price.
If you really want to see 'em fly, put a pair in RAID0 with your OS on it. Windows loads like its sitting in RAM.

do they load that fast even though they're SATA 1.5gb/s?
Will i notice the speed if I am running it through one of those PNY/Netcell SCURE RAID Cards that only handle 1.5gb/s? THanks.

The only con is that it is a pretty small amount of storage.
