To top off your Friday, we have a special treat for all of you computer enthusiasts out there. Today we have a pair of 450GB Seagate Cheetah 15K.6 SAS hard drives to show off. We spend a little time explaining the newest generation of SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) technology and run through a few benchmarks. Want to see some RAID 0 results? We have that too! Check it out over at Club Overclocker!

Amazing speeds on the single drive tests. I am a little dissappointed in the RAID 0 tests though. I am wondering if that is because of the integrated SAS controller instead of dedicated one.
