VelociRaptor 300GB Hard Drive (Serial ATA-300,...Strengths: Amazingly fast and quiet Weakness: None so far I installed a drive and then the software for Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. When I booted my computer, I saw the familiar green bar going back and forth, and it suddenly stopped. I thought that it was going to reboot, but what happened was it went right into Windows because the drive is so fast. Every time I use this drive, I am amazed at its speed and functionality. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Much better than the old raptor!Strengths: Very Fast and Quiet! Weakness: Price is a little bit high. I had a raptor 150GB for about one year and when I upgrade my system with velociraptor, I almost can not hear the noise from the hard drive any more! And the speed for loading game and windows xp is improved by about 15% due to the SATA II interface, although that is a little bit below my expectation. 100% of readers found this review helpful.

Incredible speed, Incredible PerformanceStrengths: Fastest consumer hard drive you can buy!!! Weakness: Very poor value for the capacity! The drive just is not worth it if you need space. It's great as a stand alone, but if you go raid 0 with two 7200rpm drives, your better off. Not recommended unless you do alot of multitasking or video editing. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

The greatest paradox in computing!
Strengths: Speed, (lack of) noise, and (lack of) heat.
Weakness: Price.
Western Digital should have called the drive "the Paradox". I never thought it could have been done, but my computer is running the fastest drive in the world *and* one of the quietness and coolest. Regardless of whether this is a by-product of the shrink to a 2.5" form-factor, they did it and no one else comes close.
All of this realistically has to come at a price, $1/GB at the time of this post. In contrast, the Western Digital 10EACS has about the same level of acoustics, heat dissipation, but severe lack of speed at $.20/GB. Is it worth the 5x premium? I say yes.
