10,000 RPM drive speed, Great data transfer speeds and access times
Value proposition is not strong enough
The Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB hard drive has great specifications and performs well too. However the value proposition seems doubtful since it addresses neither the "performance at any cost" niche nor the "give me low-cost storage" markets. T...

Speed, silent operation, SATA 6.0 Gbps, 10,000 RPM
Quite expensive
So the dust has finally settled and we are in complete awe of the VelociRaptor. The WD VelociRaptor is THE fastest mechanical hard drive ever produced. It is the new performance king and like its predecessor, we foresee a long reign ahead for this king...
Pluses, Excellent performance in practice; only minimally down on SSDs, Very good access times (for an HDD), At last a large capacity VelociRaptor (600 GB)
Minuses, The SATA3 interface isn't used as performances are within the SATA2 limits (good news for those who only have SATA2), Slight whistling, due to rotation speed
Great compromise between capacity and performance, Not too far behind an SSD in real-world apps, 600GB capacity
Pricey for a conventional hard disk

Western Digital's 600GB VelociRaptor arrives a long two years after its 300GB predecessor, and the new product doesn't disappoint. Once again, a hard drive carrying the Raptor name claims the crown for being the fastest desktop hard drive available. There...

Abstract: WD sends in a Velociraptor with a SATA 6Gb/s interface…Mighty big teeth with Mighty fast drive (for a mechanical drive) with the mighty SATA III interface. Enterprise class drives are used in environments which requires access 24/7 and fast enough access...
The "which drive" conflict has raged for a long time. The self-same people who thought the original VelociRaptor was too expensive for the tiny capacity then moved on to complaining how Solid State Drives are too expensive for their tiny capacity.As someo...
