Quote: "What can you really say after seeing all of those benchmarks and

tests? Without a doubt the new Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB drive is

the fastest hard drive we have ever tested. The upgrade of the Raptor line

to the SATA 3.0 GB/s specification was well overdue and you can clearly see

that at least part of the performance boost was due to that change. With

burst speeds of 247 MB/s and sustained transfers over 110 MB/s the

VelociRaptor is the best enthusiast hard drive you'll find for any

application we can think of - games, boot times, video encoding, etc."

 

Thanks for a post!
