Most helpful customer reviews 13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Impressive Performance By D. Roberts I bought this to try an idea I had, running a virtual machine from an external esata drive. My lenovo has a 128gb SSD drive, too small for a decent virtual setup, so I needed something external that was powerful and fast. I have been using WD Raptors in an old server for years with excellent results. So when I saw the Velociraptor and the great price on amazon I bought it to see. A great call, the performance is excellent, and it runs my VMs as if they were internal drives. Highly recommend this drive for whatever your needs are, has excellent speed and is very quiet. 18 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Makes my Mac Pro sing and dance By Madhu Sondhi Installed four of these drives into my new 12-core Mac Pro mid-2010, configured as Raid-5 using the Mac RAID card. XBench scored 313 and performance is solid throughout. Although these devices are SATA 6GB/s, they worked flawlessly in my 3GB/s RAID configuration. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Biggest, fastest SATA drives available By Peter D Hargrave CCS Custom Computer I normally build servers with SAS 15K drives, however for small user count servers with cost a consideration, these SATA 10K enterprise drives provide an acceptable solution. Thanks to WD See all 24 customer reviews...
