I have 2 of these in My PC.
They are working together in RAID 0 mode, which is basically doubling the speed of this drive.
In Raid 0 mode half of the data is stored on one drive and the other half on the second which makes the system 2 times faster and unfortunatelly increasing 2 times more risk of drive failure, if one of the hdd's dies all data will be lost. ( I trust Seagate I never had a failure of their drive out of about 10 i had so far )
Average Read is 165 MB/s
Average Write is 136 MB/s
I am using my PC to edit movies and i am working on many GB of data on each project. Having drives in Raid 0 mode increased a lot speed of many operations.
I have a standard Midi Case and i must say that i can't hear the drives,
my PC is very quiet all fans are running on 5V

I'm using intel chipset ich8r for raid i don't have separate boot drive, system is installed on raid volume i'm not planning to make a copy on seperate hdd i would need to buy 500gb drive to make a copy. Most important data is saved on dvd's

What type of RAID controller or disk controller interface do you have in your PC? Or is there some funky software you have installed to achieve your RAID setup? Does your system have a separate boot drive? Take a look for the latest "DiscWizard" software from Seagate's website, it'll help you to make a good copy of your data to an external drive should you need it.
