    Economy of Efficiency

    Superb speed, accurate data maintenance and recall - what more could you wish from data drives? Obviously at 10,000 RPM, the WDC Velociraptor outclasses the Toshiba, but that is to be expected. Performance is almost equal to a new HD, not a previously employed one. In a notebook, the Toshiba data storage and retrieval are remarkably swift and great for data intensive applications in today's high speed notebooks. Sure, one can get greater speed with digital media, but for analogue data retrieval and storage, both of these HDD's are much more than adequate - they are superior!

    Enterprise quality, safe to buy used.

    First HD I've seen score 6.1 on WEI, or anything above 5.9. 'Cause 64Mb? Noticeable increase in daily use speed, and also faster boot times. For when reliability and longevity means more then SSD speed. I still have a 9 yr old Velociraptor with 80,000+ hrs, working great.

    Performance & Durability at a Great Price!

    These drives are most often found in Server Environments where performance reliability is the law. Built to a higher standard, these drives are designed to deliver superior performance 24/7 for YEARS- They are one of the few drives out there that enjoy a 5 Year Factory Warranty. Even if you're buying a used drive, you can still count on rock-solid reliability for years to come! A couple of pointers- If it's going into a standard 3.5 inch desktop mount, try to get one of these drives that has the black cradle for maximum cooling of the drive. Western Digital calls it an "Ice Pack" because it's really good at keeping the drive cool- heat is the enemy of anything electronic. Also, be advised THIS DRIVE WILL NOT WORK IN A LAPTOP. It's much thicker than a laptop drive and has a different ...

    Fast, quiet and well built

    After five years of daily use one of the two drives I had on a RAID 1 array.failed. I replaced it with the same model so they match but also because I have been happy with the performance, it is fast and whisper quiet. After swapping the dives the system booted up and the Intel software rebuilt the array. I bought another one for backup in case it happens again.
