I think I will build a second box this summer. Am I crazy not to go with SATA HDs? I will use for graphics. Also, do I have to use 10,000 rpm HDs vs. 7200 for any video work?
These new HDs now with 16mb buffers etc.
I am watching the SATA drives come down in price so by
this summer they should be lower still. Will not be that big a difference to me. What about the higher rpm for video work? Yes or maybe on that?
Depends on the video work.
High rpm is not necessary if you do a lot of image processing, but a good cpu is important. If you deal with large sources, it is important and so the memory.
If you have the money, buy the best. Tomorrow it will be the standard...
I'm not sure, but I think this is OS independent, since Serial ATA is about connecting between the motherboard to the HD. Same as your OS doesn't need to know your AGP speed or FSB frequency or CD-ROM speed.
