High-speed 600 GB desktop drive

The Western Digital VelociRaptor WD6000BLHX is a 600 GB internal hard drive spinning at 10 000 RPM with a 32 MB cache. It connects through a 2.5 inch SATA 6 Gb/s interface and is sold as a bare drive in new condition. The 2.5 inch form factor fits standard desktop bays with an appropriate bracket.

Suited for primary OS installs

This drive suits builders who want quicker boot and application load times from a mechanical drive. It is not for users who need the low latency and silent operation of a solid-state drive. It is also not for anyone who requires more than 600 GB of capacity on a single spindle.

10 000 RPM spindle speed

The 10 000 RPM rotational speed is the specification that separates this model from mainstream desktop drives. It determines the drive's access-time advantage and its higher acoustic and thermal output compared with slower-spinning alternatives.
