The editors didn't like
While speedy
Fast HDD's still have painfully slow seeks as compared to SSD's
High Cost Per GB Versus 7200RPM Hard Drives
Slower than some budget SSDs at booting Windows
Expensive compared with Seagate's Momentus XT hybrid hard drive
Excellent file transfer speeds, 600GB capacity, 10,000 RPM spin speed
It's not the quietest hard drive on the market
The WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX is a blistering fast hard drive that will suit high-end gaming rigs and multimedia PCs. At 600GB, it also provides reasonable bang for your buck...

I hate to say it but the VelociRaptor VR200M is facing heavy competition from both sides of the isle. On one side we find solid state drives with the Indilinx Barefoot controller becoming available at the same 330 USD price point, but with only 128...
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...
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
Great compromise between capacity and performance, Not too far behind an SSD in real-world apps, 600GB capacity
Pricey for a conventional hard disk
Western Digital's answer to SSD speed is its spinning platter hero, the VelociRaptor, and now it's got capacity too with 600GBs of storage space.Want storage performance though? Get an SSD.Sounds simple, but there is a snag. Solid state drives are stil...
For its slight performance boost and greater endurance rating, the VelociRaptor may yet hold appeal. But if you're buying this to max out your SATA-600 rig other models offer more gigs for your quid, and comparable performance, too. Melissa J Perenson...
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. There...
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...
