Default 32mb Cache Sata Drives

Picked up a couple 250GB 32MB Sata Drives to upgrade My Raid ... hoping I will get some fun speed increase from it.

Default Re: 32mb Cache Sata Drives

You can use a program like HDTach or HDTune to benchmark your hard drive. You can also time the amount of time it takes to copy files from one drive to another or from one location on a drive to another location on that same drive. Futuremark PCMark benchmarks also have hard drive benchmarks in them you can try. You can't really use Windows boot times as an accurate way of benchmarking drive speed though.
