This is a great and very fast hard drive for PC computers or desktops. As usual at WD VelociRaptor series, it has 10000 rotation per minutes (RPM) speed, making the disk extremely fast (like a solid state drive). This is the 74 GB storage capacity version with 16MB cache. Disk runs cool and silently. I use it for operating system disk for Vista. Vista boots very fast, runs smoothly without any problem. I have another disk a WD Caviar Black disk for application software and a WD Caviar Green disk for data storage. Incredible fast disk for system disk, fast and reliable disk for applications, and a slow but rock solid disk for data storage. This is my system and I am satisfied!
These Velociraptor drives rarely fail with 3X the mileage of this drive. Inexpensive compared to SSD prices these days.

What can I say here. 10K RPM, super fast access time. And who can beat the 5 YEAR warranty! Great drive for BOOT disk with operating system!
i have a 500gb 5400rpm that windows 7 rates as the same data transfer rate. go to a hybrid or solid state drive
