The editors liked
Great compromise between capacity and performance
Not too far behind an SSD in real-world apps
600GB capacity
Pluses
Excellent performance in practice
Only minimally down on SSDs
Very good access times (for an HDD)
At last a large capacity VelociRaptor (600 GB)
The editors didn't like
Pricey for a conventional hard disk
Minuses
The SATA3 interface isn't used as performances are within the SATA2 limits (good news for those who only have SATA2)
Great performance at an even better cost/GB than the previous Raptor (see below)
While speedy, fast HDD's still have painfully slow seeks as compared to SSD's
The new VelociRaptor 600GB offers great performance at a *lower* cost/GB than its predecessor. While most of the specs match the older 300GB model, the increased platter density gave a nice boost to sequential transfer rates. The dual core processor and...
Fastest HD Yet, Double The Capacity Of Previous VelociRaptor, SATA 6G Support, Relatively Quiet
High Cost Per GB Versus 7200RPM Hard Drives
The landscape in the PC storage space is very different today than it was when the original VelociRaptor launched in April of last year. Since then, Solid State Drives, while still extremely expensive in terms of cost per GB, have gotten much more afforda...

Excellent file transfer speeds, 600GB capacity, 10,000 RPM spin speed
It's not the quietest hard drive on the market
The WD VelociRaptor WD6000HLHX is a blistering fast hard drive that will suit high-end gaming rigs and multimedia PCs. At 600GB, it also provides reasonable bang for your buck...

I hate to say it but the VelociRaptor VR200M is facing heavy competition from both sides of the isle. On one side we find solid state drives with the Indilinx Barefoot controller becoming available at the same 330 USD price point, but with only 128...
Abstract: Face it, it’s hard to get excited over hard drives. That is, until one becomes the bottleneck in your video-streaming server or gaming machine. I’m always subjected to far longer load-screens than I’d like; while I’d love to go for the insanely high s...
10,000 RPM drive speed, Great data transfer speeds and access times
Value proposition is not strong enough
The Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB hard drive has great specifications and performs well too. However the value proposition seems doubtful since it addresses neither the "performance at any cost" niche nor the "give me low-cost storage" markets. T...
