One might look at the VelociRaptor's name next to the growing number of solid-state drives entering the market and conclude that the VR200M is already dinosaur. Indeed, the substantial performance advantage enjoyed by the Corsair and Intel SSDs in many...
Great performance at an even better cost/GB than the previous Raptor (see below)
While speedy, fast HDD's still have painfully slow seeks as compared to SSD's
The new VelociRaptor 600GB offers great performance at a *lower* cost/GB than its predecessor. While most of the specs match the older 300GB model, the increased platter density gave a nice boost to sequential transfer rates. The dual core processor and...

The Western Digital VelociRaptor is the fastest SATA hard drive. Its 10,000RPM spindle speed gives it fast access times and high transfer speeds. Since we don’t live in a vacuum this also has to be compared to SSDs which are orders of magnitude faster...
Fastest HD Yet, Double The Capacity Of Previous VelociRaptor, SATA 6G Support, Relatively Quiet

The landscape in the PC storage space is very different today than it was when the original VelociRaptor launched in April of last year. Since then, Solid State Drives, while still extremely expensive in terms of cost per GB, have gotten much more afforda...
