  • Abstract:  Western Digital's (WD) Raptor line of performance hard drives are the stuff of legend. They combine the high spindle speed and performance of more expensive server hard drives with the cheap, simple, and consumer centric SATA connection of home user syste...

  • I doubt anyone will argue that Western Digital VelociRaptor is a unique Serial ATA hard drive for enthusiasts. It is extremely fast, but quiet and not hot at all, i.e. combines all the best features of a hard drive. The developers managed to put togeth...

  • Abstract:  When it comes to performance desktop hard drives Western Digital’s Raptor has been the king-of-the-hill for some time now. Its 10000RPM rotational speed gives it a boost over others 3.5-inch SATA disks, which typically top out at 7200RPM when designed ...

  • In the end, we are left asking one question. Is this the fastest hard drive available today? The short answer is no. That dubious honour is still held by many solid state hard drives. However, the Western Digital VelociRaptor does close the gap betwee...

  • Although the production firmware doesnt improve the VelociRaptors performance in each and every test, the final product is faster overall than the engineering sample drive we looked at a couple of months ago. Western Digital has another monster on it...

  • Abstract:  Ok, so technically a Dilophosaurus hocked the venom loogie all over Nedry's face. But in marketplace of consumer hard drives, there is no question that Western Digital's Velociraptor is the beast to be feared. The new 300GB, 10,000-RPM device comes ...

  • Extremely fast, quiet, and cool; decent capacity
  • Expensive; not hot-swappable
  • The Velociraptor is an incredibly fast hard drive with enough capacity to serve as a boot drive. Just know you can get a much bigger drive thats almost as speedy for the same money. ...
