Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WD1500AHFDRTL Raptor X 150GB SATA/150 Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Western Digital
Summary: 5 Stars
This hard drive is fat and reliable. If you can get this hard drive for less than a hundred, then its a steal,. Worth every penny! And if you have money to spend, go for the New VelociRaptor!Digital camera Review: Western Digital Raptor Drive
Summary: 5 Stars
The WD Raptor series are 10,000 rpm drives, which make them very fast drives. The ideal setup is to use this drive as your boot drive, then a second, maybe 1TB 7200 rpm drive for data. It really speeds up your boot time, and system having just the boot files on this. Nice drive, quiet, and reliable. It's a very worthwhile addition to any computer.Digital camera Review: Wonderful drive with one big flaw
Summary: 4 Stars
Let's start with the only big flaw of this drive. The clear glass that allows you to see the drive. Great in theory, but not in practicality. To see the hard drive work you either need to mount it outside of the computer or to the glass on the side of your tower. Problem with that is that both methods void the warranty!!! There is really no way to view it working without voiding the warranty (read the manual) so minus 1 star for that. Of course they would only know this if you told them or sent the drive in an exterior case for repair!
I disagree with the review below about it being quiet. It is loud (in comparison to other drives)
Onto the positives. Fastest serial drive there is. 10,000 RPM with a 16 cache is the icing on the cake. I upgraded from the 74gig with 8 cache and what a difference. The price is high and raiding 2 of these together is only for the rich! But as far as hard drives go, this is the king of them all. I am a gamer and have been very please with the results. If you can afford it, it is the way to go. But consider the model without the window. You will save a few bucks and get the same performance
Digital camera Review: muy, muy rapido
Summary: 4 Stars
buen HD. extremadamente rápido, quizaas un poco mas ruidoso que mi antiguo HD seagate barracuda.
