Kind of hate the SSD drives are really putting these things out in the street.
I agree with you #1 but I don't hate it. These produce more heat, noise, use more energy and have a higher rate of failure (bc of the moving parts) than SSD's. While SSD's are expensive they are perfect for boot drives.
I have had 10k raptors last me over 5 years now. Still fast today. But yes, they are hot.
and not only that sectoring a larger drive makes them much better compared to these. the velici are kind of dead now a days.
