You'll notice during our performance analysis that we've specifically not compared the VelociRaptor to an SSD, and this is because, while they're both forms of high-performance storage, we don't feel the two can be fairly compared. It'd be like comparing...
Abstract: The original Western Digital VelociRaptor 300 GB was a much-vaunted breakthrough in hard drive technology. Its combination of two high-density platters in a small form factor and a super-fast spindle speed not only delivered blistering seek times, but....
Abstract: Face it, it’s hard to get excited over hard drives. That is, until one becomes the bottleneck in your video-streaming server or gaming machine. I’m always subjected to far longer load-screens than I’d like; while I’d love to go for the insanely high s...
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...
Abstract: 지난 20년간, CPU는 575배 빨라진 반면, 데이터가 저장되는 스토리지(HDD)는 19배 향상에 그치며 스토리지는 여전히 시스템 병목현상의 원인으로 손꼽힌다. 수치만을 본다면 최근에 오히려 스토리지 병목현상이 심화된 것으로 오해할 수 있지만, 하드디스크 또한 수직기록방식, Advanced Format 등 다양한 신기술이 더해지며 비약적으로 발전, 최근들어 병목현상은 오히려 줄었다. 하지만, 기계적 장치로 구동되는 태생적 한계로 하드디스크는 한계에 직...
Abstract: At 10,000 rpm, the Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX drive certainly spins faster than the competition. But do faster rotations per minute translate into faster performance? VelociRaptor drives have been out for two years; PC World Labs tests, ho...
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
There’s a fine line between buying an SSD drive and buying a fast HDD of the same general size. The rule of thumb is that you can potentially buy 4 or even 5 Western Digital Velociraptor drives for the price of a single 512GB SSD drive. Or alternativel...
Abstract: Daha önce "WD'nin küçük canavarı: VelociRaptor" adıyla incelediğimiz diskin yazısına nasıl başlamışız?…hareketi algılayan T-Rex gibi, hareket etmezsen seni göremez sanırsın. Ama Velociraptor öyle değildir… Sen ona bakarsın, o da sana bakar. İşte o anda...
