  • The theoretical HD Tach tests show that the VelociRaptor is indeed the fastest hard disk available. An average sustained reading speed of 106.2MB/sec and writing speed of 97.8MB/sec is excellent, and a noticeable step up from all the other hard disks ...

  • Abstract:  Named after a dinosaur species which was quick and vicious, this HDD is also built for high speed. It comes with 10,000 rpm spindle speed, SATA 3 GB/s interface and 16 MB cache to give high performance. VelociRaptor has 300 GB storage space with a for...

  • High speeds, Cool during operation, 10,000 RPM.
  • Quite expensive, Mounting incompatible with hot-swap NAS servers.
  • So the dust has finally settled and we were left completely in awe of the VelociRaptor. The WD VelociRaptor is THE fastest consumer hard drive ever produced "Period". It is the new performance king and we foresee a long reign ahead for this king. It s...

  • Blazing speed, Well designed heatsink unit
  • Incredibly expensive
  • Western Digitals Raptor drives really need no introduction. WD has been at the cutting edge of consumer HDD performance for over five years now, and each iteration of drives in this range has been, to put it mildly, "bats out of hell powered by n...

  • Si deseamos o necesitamos una unidad veloz, con un ajustado consumo energético y de robusta fabricación, el VelociRaptor de Western Digital es el candidato perfecto. La mejora en temperatura de trabajo (gracias al bastidor sobre el que se monta)...

  • · Muy, pero que muy rápido, · Se calienta poco, · Hace poco ruido
  • · Es muy caro, · 300GB pueden seguir pareciendo poco a algunos,
  • En el test de disco del Sisoft Sandra vemos cómo el Raptor de 36GB queda el último, lo sigue el Seagate, después el R74 y el Velociraptor gana por una diferencia del 46,5% al perseguidor más cercano, un primer resultado espectacular. El tiempo de acces...

  • Abstract:  VelociRaptor, éste es el agresivo título con el que Western Digital ha denominado a la evolución del nuevo modelo perteneciente a su ya conocida familia de los Raptor, la veloz gama alta de discos duros de esta compañía californiana. De entre las disti...

  • Débits en lecture et écriture : 110 Mo/s !, Temps d'accès très réduit, Chauffe très peu
  • Sifflement des plateaux, Bruit en fonctionnement, Prix
  • Si vous recherchez un disque dur rapide, très rapide même, c'est le modèle qu'il vous faut. En revanche, attention aux oreilles et au porte-feuille......

  • performances, capacité, silence, IcePack : protection et température faible
  • prix par Go.
  • Une fois de plus, Western Digital fixe de nouveaux jalons dans les performances des disques durs. Le VelociRaptor est nettement plus rapide que son prédécesseur qui commençait à être rattrapé par les plus gros modèles concurrents. Mais ce n’est pas...
