- Very Fast Drive, very bad packaging
I can't say allot on HDD, its fast and doing the job.
Take in consideration these important factors:
1- it's not exactly 3.5" HDD size, it's non standard HDD size almost 2.5" however it's thicker fitted in heat sink to make it almost 3.5", however it's slightly bigger and can be a problem in installing it, depends on your PC case. I had to do some serious modifications to fit it in my HTPC
2- packaging is extremely bad, no cables, no connectors, no ... Read More

- Good when they work..
I purchased a case of 40 of these drives for 20 servers (RAID 1) in my datacenter.I had 6 fail within the first 3 months of operation.The drives are great when they work.Do not expect any technical support at all from WD as they will not support these drives in RAID configurations.They do RMA drives quickly, although I received the wrong drive twice in return.It took about a month each to get those drives replaced.I would highly not recommend this drive for any type of mission critical ...

I built my PC with one of these drives and then added a second to form a RAID 0 set.To say the least, I'm extremely pleased with the result.

- Fast
Very fast drive, works great, only negative is that it does not lock onto the metal clip on newer sata cables, and it is pricy though Amazon has a great price.
Rating: - You will notice the speed difference!
I'm a loyal Western Digital fan. So when my C:\ drive started making noises and locking up windows (an old WD 320GB Caviar) it was time to upgrade.
First off, this drive is incredibly fast. It fits in the 3.5inch bay on my Dell Inspiron 530 perfectly. Booting up windows (didn't time it) was noticeably faster. Usually when I log into windows I have to wait 1-2 minutes for everything to load. Now, with the VelociRaptor I can open programs instantly after logging into Windows.
