Engineered for maximum speed! WD VelociRaptor, the newest member of our sole class of 10,000 RPM SATA hard drives, combines a SATA 3 Gb/s interface and 16 MB cache, to deliver performance that’s up to 35% faster than its speedy older brother. Key Features Killer speed – Built on the execution bloodlines of WD Raptor, these 10,000 RPM drives, with SATA 3 Gb/s interface, and 16 MB memory cache deliver mind-bending performance.
Not only are they 35 percent faster than the previous generation WD Raptor drives, but they also beat out all other contenders in the field. Rock-solid reliability – Planned and constructed to mission-critical enterprise-class standards to provide enterprise reliability in high duty cycle environments. With 1.4 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high capacity SATA drive.
IcePack mounting frame – The 2.5-inch WD VelociRaptor is enclosed in a 3.5-inch enterprise-class mounting frame with a built-in heat sink that keeps this important little drive extra cool when installed in quality desktop chassis. (This drive is not backplane compatible.) Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) – Optimizes operation and operation when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multi-drive chassis. NoTouch ramp load technology – The recording point never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
