Pros Fast, cool, and high quality.
Cons Little bit noisy.
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, thanks to another reviewer's information, I realized that I have Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB 10000 RPM hard drive, a newer model than the one listed here. So this review is for the model I have.

Very impressive speed. The nearly 40% increase in RPM over the... Read full review »

WD VelociRaptor 150GB - The last great mechanical hard drive

Pros Super fast performance for a mechanical drive. Quiet and reliable.
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

Best Litte Harddrive Yet

bysuziq027 Jan 26, 2012
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Reliable, inexpensive, small in size while being big in storage space
Cons Messy Permissions when formatted for bothe PC and MAC
Recommended it? Yes

This harddrive is small to carry around, but a full terabyte! When we first bought it, we formatted it to be able to be used on both PCs and Macs. That worked for a while, but then when we upgraded our MAC to Lion, the harddrive began having permission issues -- it could only be ready on computers... Read full review »
