Advantages: Fastest Hard Drive in the world! Disadvantages: Bit of a price tag
Western Digital have been one of the top dogs in HDD production for many years now but with the release of their new Raptor HDD they secured their place in history as the company that made the fastest HDD in the world! The WD Raptor spins at 10,000 RPM (most HDD only spin at 7,200) which makes it the fastest HDD in the world right now.
I got my new 150GB WD Raptor from Overclockers.co.uk for around £171(I only got it from there because I was getting ...

Advantages: Fast Fast & Fast! Disadvantages: Hot, Pricy.
Western Digital does it again. They release an update to the fastest Sata drive on the market, which was overdue, but well worth the wait. These drives are up to any task you can throw at them.
These Raptors are super fast. Simply, the fastest available hard drive for desktop computers in the world. They have got excellent seek time and data transfer rate. Installing and loading Windows is just fun on these drives. Games load extremely fast. Data ...

Advantages: Looks amazing, performs amazing. Disadvantages: A bit expensive.. its just a HDD afterall
This product has to be one of the most impressive looking computer component i have ever seen. The clear top complements my acrylic case and shows off the spindle and disk spinning at 10000RPM! Wow! From using my old IDE 7200RPM hdd to this one, i have lost 14 seconds on my windows load and loads more time off computer game load screens etc. The Raptor has probably boosted my overall performance of my computer far more then replacing any other component. ...

Advantages: Unbeatably Fast Disadvantages: Rather costly
...performance than with my previous Western Digital in all areas of disk-intensive activity. In combination with a RAID0 array for storing my data files (for which transfer rate, not latency, is important) I could not be happier with my PCs storage capabilities. Although this does cost a lot compared to its competitors it doesn't let you down. If speed is the way you want to go this will definately boost your pc's performance. Having looked at research ...

Advantages: The fastest available,16 MB buffer, 4.6 ms seek time, 10000 rpm. Disadvantages: Very expensive, Little capacity
Every few months one of the five or so large drive manufacturers (Western Digital, Maxtor, Hitachi, etc) comes out with a new hard drive claiming revolutionary advancements. This crap is almost never true, but with the new 150 GB Raptor we finally have a drive that trys to live up to some of its billing. If you are an enthusiast, power user, rich or just plain hate the slow boot times of Windows, then these Raptors are your ticket. The model I am ...
