To meet the demands of enterprise storage, Western Digital is the only company to combine an enterprise-class hard drive with the SATA interface to meet all the demands of the enterprise environment - reliability, performance, and reduced cost. Serial ATA is poised to replace Parallel SCSI in the mid-range, but only if there's a drive that can meet the performance and reliability requirements of that market. That drive is the WD Raptor! The WD Raptor is a new class of hard drive that matches SCSI performance and reliability and provides simplified connectivity, all at 30 percent less cost than Parallel SCSI drives. Less

More like a Cheetah

bynad_masters Jul 13, 2004
32 Helpfuls 33 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, quiet (for a 10k RPM drive)
Cons Small capacity, gets very hot, expensive
Recommended it? No

Why the name "Raptor"? It isn't huge. It's fast! Why not a Cheetah? Oh, I think we just infringed on Seagate's trademark. :) Crap... Well, enough with the Sienfeld-like observations.

I would NOT have picked these up if they weren't at least highly discounted, and during Fry's Electronics... Read full review »

The (second) Fastest non-scsi Drive available

Pros Fast. Excellent warrantee. Fast. No, I mean *really* fast.
Cons expensive. Hot. Makes your other hard drives feel pathetic.
Recommended it? Yes

It's been a fun ride in the desktop hardware bix these past few years, and it's pretty interesting to see how speed and technology have incrementally advanced. Most of my current business centers around "performance" desktop machines, specifically custom gaming rigs and it's been that way since the... Read full review »

Pros Fast, cool, and high quality.
Cons Little bit noisy.
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, thanks to another reviewer's information, I realized that I have Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM hard drive, a newer model than the one listed here. So this review is for the model I have.

Very impressive speed. The nearly 40% increase in RPM over the... Read full review »

WD VelociRaptor 150GB - The last great mechanical hard drive

byKAR120C Jun 5, 2010
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Super fast performance for a mechanical drive. Quiet and reliable.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

It is 2010 and mechanical hard drives are soon to be displaced by solid state drives (SSD’s) which offer superior performance. At this time, there is still one problem to be overcome by solid state drives; price per gigabyte. Solid state drives are still 2 to 3 times the... Read full review »
