Fastest HD Yet, Double The Capacity Of Previous VelociRaptor, SATA 6G Support, Relatively Quiet
High Cost Per GB Versus 7200RPM Hard Drives
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...
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. Th...
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

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...
