Velociraptor

I'm looking for a new hard drive, but I don't want to buy an SSD.

 

I've been looking at the velociraptor and it looks pretty nice at 10,000 RPM, but does anyone know if it clunks? I have a WD Black 2TB and that thing clunks ever since I first installed it.

Also, anyone know the read and write speed?

loud, expensive, and speeds are bad

 

seriously, just buy an SSD if you need that much speed

otherwise a regular HDD is more than enough, a good HDD can do 150+ MBps reads and writes

Velociraptors are getting kinda old now tbh. I'm not sure what you mean by 'clunk', but if you want to avoid any sound, just get an SSD. If you need the space then get a regular HDD. The speeds these days on HDDs aren't that bad. It won't be as snappy as an SSD but it'll definitely still be within the spectrum of usability.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

I long long time ago I ran a pair of VelicoRaptor's in RAID, 2x 300GB if IIRC. They were pretty loud for a hard drive due to the higher spindle speed and while they performed well at the time they don't come close to even an entry level SSD.

But why?
