Western Digital has announced the Velociraptor ($300 retail), their latest and greatest in speedy storage.
10,000 rpm, 300GB high-performance hard drive
The new VelociRaptor takes an untraditional approach for a desktop HDD with its 2.5″ drive design. The 2.5″ form factor allows the drive to be smaller, lighter, and more power efficient than its 3.5″ rivals.
When it comes to performance, Western Digital promises a 30% increase in performance though is SATA 3Gb/sec interface, 1.4 million MTBF, and Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) to improve performance in vibration-heavy environments.
Western Digital surround the VelociRaptor with a passive heatsink that safely cools the drive inside a hot computer case.
its a much cooler and less noisy hard drive and currently the best !
Remember when you go to buy a new hard drive……. buy VelociRaptor
