My current HD is Western Digital VelociRaptor WDBACN6000ANC-NRSN 600GB 10000 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
I'd like a recommendation for another HD with at least 10K RPM.
 
Sorry, you absolutely have to get a Solid State Drive. It will bury your Velociraptor and carve its tombstone before it could boot up.

A 600G VRAPT is $195, a 500G VRAPT is $155.

For that much money you can get a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO with about ten times the performance.

I am getting two SSDs but I need an additional HD for content that changes often.

Looks like a nice bargain but I'll buy a new one. All the vraps I see on Newegg and many on Amazon or bare drives.
Should I be looking elsewhere as I want a retail kit.
BTW, is there any other model I should be considering for 10K RPM other than WD vrapt?
