  • Abstract:  Western Digital Corp. picked an extremely appropriate name for its new 10,000-rpm hard drive. Dubbed the VelociRaptor, this new drive, introduced today, screamed through our performance tests in the PC World Test Center. Velocity is clearly the raison ...

  • Abstract:  Western Digitals VelociRaptor is here, and it comes with a bang. The new 10,000 RPM 2.5" SATA hard drives primal scream is loud enough to ...

  • Summarizing the WD Velociraptors performance couldnt be any easier. In every benchmark and test we ran, the new Velociraptor was clearly the fastest drive of the lot, and usually by a wide margin. In terms of sequential or random reads and writes, ...

  • Western Digitals new VelociRaptor VR150 is a leaner, meaner version of the Raptor that really owes little to its predecessor other than a 10K-RPM spindle speed. The VelociRaptors design is a radical departure from the original, but weve grown to exp...

  • If you cant tell by now, I am more than impressed with what Western Digital was able to bring to the table as a follow up to the hugely successful Raptor line of hard drives. The VelociRaptor 300GB is a worthy successor bringing not just twice the c...

  • The Western Digital VelociRaptor doesn't disappoint and has just raised the performance bar for hard drive makers. The VelociRaptor will be the hard drive to use in performance systems until SSD drives come down way down in price and up in capacity. ...

  • It seems as if the folks at Western Digital have been working late night in their R&D department as the new Velociraptor takes the Raptor series to the next level. The Raptor series of drives were already a hall of fame winning product and with new dri...

  • With the Veloci Raptor 300 GByte Western Digital has a hard diks in its portfolio with very good performance figures. If we look at the sequential performance values we see that the drives only small problem because it isnt able to catch the leaed und...

  • Abstract:  The VelociRaptors 300GB capacity is tiny, but nothing else comes close to matching its 10,000rpm spin speed or 4.2ms seek time. Unlike the 3?in Raptor disks that it replaces, this is a 2½in drive. However, Western Digital states that its not desig...

  • VelociRaptor is staggeringly fast yet also very quiet. And with 300GB of capacity its a must-have for anyone building a Media Centre PC or a new gaming rig. Provided, of course, you can afford the steep asking price. ...
