Comment: Today HardwareLogic looks at the newest pony in Western Digital's stable...the 150GB WD Raptor. Doubling not only the drives actual size (From 74GB to 150GB), but also the cache (from 8MB to 16MB). Western Digital has finally updates arguably the most popular hard drive of the past 2 years

Comment: Hands down the Western Digital Raptor WD1500ADFD and its windowed counterpart, the WD1500AHFD, are the fastest standard SATA desktop hard drives we've tested thus far. The WD1500 drives out-paced their predecessor, the Raptor WD740GD, in every single test by a comfortable margin and offered a sign

Easily one of the best hard drive i've never owned. I own 3 of those and 2 of them are in a RAID 0 config. It's hella fast. Great boost in loading times and great for gaming as well. The next step after this is either the velociraptor or the SSD.      » READ MORE

Bought this to run the OS, works really well. I knew that with 150gb, it would never be a storage drive, just my main software drive, and with that purpose in mind it works great. I have temp sensors on it and my 500gb drive and they are at the same temperature, so even with it's faster RPM, it doesn't really effect temps. Overall a solid buy.      » READ MORE

If you want a fast computer, you have to have this hard drive in it.       » READ MORE

This is a great hard drive to install your OS on if you aren't building a silent PC. For more space, a regular 7200 rpm drive would compliment this very well.      » READ MORE

I have not been disappointed at all with the performance of this drive. I've heard a lot of people complain about the noise it generates, but I don't expect a computer to be deadly-silent anyway, so it really doesn't bother me. Excellent buy.      » READ MORE

using this as a main drive for a clients PC. A noticeable speed improvement over your average 7200rpm drive. The only bad thing I can say is that when the drive is hard at work it louder than any other drive i've listened to.      » READ MORE

I was overall pleased with the speed of this drive. The thing is though you are very limited with 150GB.       » READ MORE

Switched from a Seagate 320GB hard drive to this when I overhauled my computer. To be honest I was expecting this thing to be much faster based on the reviews I read. My load times in games are better but overall I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. On another note, the drive is Very noisy, easily the loudest thing in my computer.      » READ MORE

I'm semi happy with this drive. Gotta admit, it runs faster than anything I ever own before. But the noise, wow.. it's really difficult to stand, and I'm the type that can handle noise. But this is a demon =/. Thinking of getting 500gb Hitachi instead. More room, Fast, but not Raptor fast. And less noise!       » READ MORE
