schoondoggy Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 The Seagates are faster, the Reds are designed for long life in servers. Are you going to put them in a RAID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 In your situation the Reds should work just fine. If you were running a database server, performing thousands of transactions per second or minute, I would suggest the faster drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikon Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The 2720 is a RAID controller. Perhaps you meant you're not using its RAID capabilities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drashna Jaelre Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 What if he means the non-RAID versin? The HighPoint Rocket 2720SGL? http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA_new/series_r272x.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 We need pcdoc. I thought the difference between the 2720 & 2720SGL was that one comes with the breakout cable and the other doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
