Western Digital VelociRaptor 1TB Review - 10K RPM Hits a Larger Capacity

[news 28]

It's been a long while since we've looked at a hard drive, and how

fitting that it be a new model of the Western Digital VelociRaptor!

Western Digital appears to be on a somewhat fixed 2-year cycle with

these, as out 600GB VelociRaptor Review went up two Aprils ago, and

the 300GB two years prior to that. Well then, let's take a look at

this new model!

Quote: "Western Digital has done well to keep the VelociRaptor

pedigree alive with this new 1TB model. We saw notable imporvements

across the board, as well as some very impressive throughput figures

breaking the 200MB/sec mark. While spinning disks have a ways to go

before they can compete with solid state, the new VelociRaptor does

extremely well and tops all other spinning disks out there, at a

cost/GB way cheaper than any SSD!"

 

Thanks for a post!!
