Here are results Raid0:

I tested it with my small acer 3820T 13.3 inch with an 500GB hdd.

Well, I can't actually see the images. This link show a comparison between some modern drives. Invluding Western gigital Caviar Black and the latest Barracudas.

Oh dang so they are much quicker then they ware. didn't know the HDDs got so much faster. but the hdds with raid0 run around 110-130mbs and that's the same speed of a "fast single 7200 rpm" today.

Laptop gets around 60mbs i think that's fair enough for 5400 rpm
