Western Digital recently launched their third-generation VelociRaptor hard disk drive, which continues to be the world's only 10,000 RPM hard disk drive with a SATA interface. The third-generation VelociRaptor improved on its predecessor by using Advanced Format Technology (AFT) and higher-density platters to deliver not only 1 TB of storage capacity but also a sustained throughput of 200 MB/s. Take a look at its key features : We did a short analysis of the drive earlier, but we are now able to produce a full review, after extensively testing this drive. Let's take a closer look!

I'm not sure if you should put in at least 1 SSD results for comparison. I know it is unfair to the rest of the HDDs, but it is one of the popular upgrades for many people.
I thought of it, but decided to actually come up with a separate comparison. Most likely the two VelociRaptors vs. the Intel 520 SSD? What do you think?
2 identical 1TB Velociraptor? It makes the comparison fairer and it will be an interesting comparison. But it is not a common setup for most.
Oh, no, I mean the 1 TB VelociRaptor and the 600 GB VelociRaptor vs. the Intel 520 series SSD. Actually am already working on it. Hope to get it done by Monday. I'm adding the Intel X-25M G2 as well. So two VelociRaptors vs. two SSDs.
Ahhh.. just finished it actually. Hmm.. Yeah, I probably should. The Intel SSDs rather trashed the VelociRaptors.
