  • Abstract:  Western Digital picked an extremely appropriate name for its new 10,000rpm (rotations per minute) hard drive. Dubbed the VelociRaptor, this new drive screamed through the PC World Test Centre’s performance tests. Velocity is clearly the raison d’etre ...

  • Very fast read and write times, runs cool and quiet
  • To get the full benefit of its 10,000rpm spin speed it should be installed in a system with other 10,000rpm drives
  • Use a pair of these drives to get the most out of your high-end desktop. Sure theyre expensive, but if you need the speed, they cant be overlooked. ...

  • · Muy, pero que muy rápido, · Se calienta poco, · Hace poco ruido
  • · Es muy caro, · 300GB pueden seguir pareciendo poco a algunos,
  • En el test de disco del Sisoft Sandra vemos cómo el Raptor de 36GB queda el último, lo sigue el Seagate, después el R74 y el Velociraptor gana por una diferencia del 46,5% al perseguidor más cercano, un primer resultado espectacular. El tiempo de acces...

  • Abstract:  August 7, 2008 Since 2003, Western Digital is the only one to offer Serial ATA drives that function at a speed of 10.000 rpm. This rotation speed up until now was reserved for SCSI drives that could even go as high as 15.000 rpm, gives an additional b...

  • 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...

  • High speeds, Cool during operation, 10,000 RPM.
  • Quite expensive, Mounting incompatible with hot-swap NAS servers.
  • So the dust has finally settled and we were left completely in awe of the VelociRaptor. The WD VelociRaptor is THE fastest consumer hard drive ever produced "Period". It is the new performance king and we foresee a long reign ahead for this king. It s...

  • 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 ...

  • Blazing speed, Well designed heatsink unit
  • Incredibly expensive
  • Western Digitals Raptor drives really need no introduction. WD has been at the cutting edge of consumer HDD performance for over five years now, and each iteration of drives in this range has been, to put it mildly, "bats out of hell powered by n...

  • 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...
