   A very high performance hard drive which outdoes overall perforamance levels of entry-level SSDs and which is even on a par with high-end SSDs when it comes to practical usage... with the advantage of offering much more bang for your buck. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Excellent performance in practice; only minimally down on SSDs, Very good access times (for an HDD), At last a large capacity VelociRaptor (600 GB)
   • The SATA-3 interface isn't used as performances are within the SATA-2 limits (good news for those who only have SATA-2), Slight whistling, due to rotation speed

   Affordable SSDs and hybrid hard drives steal some of its thunder, but this drive packs tons of speedy storage and impressive write speeds for far less than similar-capacity SSDs. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Fast read speeds and very fast write speeds, Impressive capacity for such a speedy drive
   • Slower than some budget SSDs at booting Windows, Expensive compared with Seagate's Momentus XT hybrid hard drive

   We've run the gambit of hard drives commonly used in desktop systems in our series of hard drive reviews. From uber expensive SSD's to the common 7200 RPM 160GB $50 drive. We thought it fitting to end that series (for now) with the legendary Western Digital VelociRaptor. We're glad we saved it for last. If we had gone with the VelociRaptor, first the other drives would have been a little bit of a let down. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   A much-needed refresh for WD's flagship speedy drive Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Fastest hard drive; 6Gb/s SATA; welcome capacity bump.
   • Occupies awkward performance/capacity middle ground.

   I love this reptile. is just brutally quick and ultra reliable. a really cheap way of improve your pc if you can't afford an SSD or just need higher capacity (bigger raptor is 600gb. SSD is 512gb and price out of this universe, like 1k $$). really quiet for a 10k rpm. I mention his reliability?, never fail to me and I use it and abuse it. too bad that I can't get a velociraptor for my laptop. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Fast, Quiet, Reliable and a 5 year warranty!
   • Higher cost than standard drives, but well worth it

   I purchased this drive and installed it for testing before reselling it. It is a fast drive, but not as fast as four drives in Raid "0". Average seek time is basically the same as any other hard drive. This drive cannot in any way compare to the G.Skill SSD that I use in my personal computer, but then again the price is a little smaller although not by a great amount. Again 300 G is not alot of drive for the price, but it is faster than a 7200 RPM drive. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   My laptop has a SSD hybrid drive and WIN7. It boots faster but it is also newer and kinda like apples and oranges with the different OS. The VR are still the top of the food chain among DISC drives, they are expensive per gb but IMO worth it. The speed difference is pretty noticeable. This replaced a 7200 rpm disc. I still wish the price was lower, I have 5 more computers that I could put them in. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi

   • Fast, quiet, fast. I thought it was going to be loud - I can't hear it. My cooling fan isn't loud but I can't hear the drive over it. Boot time is always good with fre...
   • None so far. After reading some reviews here and elsewhere I was a bit skeptical about this drive since the buzzword for speed now is "SSD". I need reliability more th...

   GIllar denna skarpt, bytte ut min gamla Velociraptor 160gb mot denna. Några minus dock, låter lite mer än min gamla Velociraptor. Mer klickljud och surr. Lite synd. Får hoppas att det inte blir mer än så....att inga BSOD kommer för att disken är defekt. Annars bara nöjd, snabb och sval. Lue Lisää Translate to suomi
