  • There’s a fine line between buying an SSD drive and buying a fast HDD of the same general size. The rule of thumb is that you can potentially buy 4 or even 5 Western Digital Velociraptor drives for the price of a single 512GB SSD drive. Or alternativel...

  • Fast read speeds and very fast write speeds, Impressive capacity for such a speedy drive
  • Slower than some budget SSDs at booting Windows, Expensive compared with Seagate's Momentus XT hybrid hard drive
  • Affordable SSDs and hybrid hard drives steal some of its thunder, but this drive packs tons of speedy storage and impressive write speeds for far less than similar-capacity SSDs. ...

  • Fastest hard drive; 6Gb/s SATA; welcome capacity bump.

  • Abstract:  The fastest consumer hard drive just got a little faster. The latest VelociRaptor—a 2.5-inch drive with a 3.5-inch heatsink around it—is up to 22% speedier at reading data, according to our in-house tests. It’s also up to 8% faster ..

  • Abstract:  The new VelociRaptor further redeems itself with its enterprise-class reliability technology—it can theoretically withstand about 12 times more power cycles now. Really, if you need to add a mass storage unit to a rig with an SSD boot drive, especially for video editing, a VelociRaptor (or two) should be on your ..

  • In the days before SSDs, the VelociRaptor was the drive that raised the cost per GB ceiling. These days, the 600GB drive almost seems like a bargain. Have a look:Cost Comparison of Modern HDDs/SSDsDrive Capacity Price Cost per GigabyteWestern Digital Velo...

  • In the end, there is no doubt we have a new king of the hill. It may not win every single benchmark, but it certainly wins the majority and without a doubt scores convincing wins in areas that consumers are keen to notice. With a capacity of 600GB, th...

  • One distinction is that the VelociRaptor is aimed at high end servers (it's rated for 1.4 million hours mean time between failure) as well as high end PCs, including gaming-centric models, where every bit of extra performance boost may be appreciated ...

  • Abstract:  When it comes to fast storage, Western Digital aren’t willing to accept that the only way forward is a solid state drive. Instead, they’re pushing forward with the VelociRaptor series, a range of traditional platter-based hard-drives spinning at high s...
