I do have a couple of thumbdrives, but those would also be considered SSD (although I'd think they would be much slower than the RAID0 drives). Or, if you have a spare USB HDD you want to let me borrow for a day (I'm pretty close to you, in California, so it should ship back and forth quickly) I could give you a direct comparison to what you are used to. Let me know.

And yes, for your next setup, SSD RAID0 is utterly sick! Being able to do a thorough virus check on 335GB in about a minute flat is soooooo cool. Do you build you own computers? This was my first personal build... I'll never buy a pre-built again; it's a lot of fun (though there were a few hair-pulling moments) and I saved thousands of dollars. My liquid cooling equipment should be here in a few days, so once I get that set up, there will be a serious overclock that should eat through any Dominions file thrown at it.
