Western Digital WD1500AHFDRTL Raptor X 150GB SATA/150 Hard Drive Reviews
I havent gotten to pop these suckers in yet. The silk bags are amazing. I don't care about the hard drive at this point, SILK BAG. I just got them today, and unboxed them to see if they were alright. And the best part, I got one for each hand 8D
If you can get this hard drive for less than a hundred, then its a steal,. And if you have money to spend, go for the New VelociRaptor. Worth every penny. This hard drive is fat and reliable.
Pros:It works, it's fast and SATA is a plus. Cons: Not much faster than a Seagate (7200, 32MB cache).It runs really hot.
Would really be nice if WD made the SATA II version. The price was great or I would not have purchased the upgrade. Performance is outstanding but the drive has a whine, high pitch during use.
I have found them to be quite reliable and at 10,000 rpm's the fastest of any E-IDE drive. I have bought and utilized several of these drives. You will not regret purchasing this drive. I bought one of the very first drives of this line, the 34 GB drive, about 8 years ago and it is still going strong. The Western Digital EIDE raptor enterprise series drives are the best of the E-IDE line of drives.
