WD VelociRaptor™
WD VelociRaptor hard drives deliver maximum speed and reliability for performance enthusiast systems, workstations, and low-end servers. With a superbly engineered combination of 10,000 RPM spin speed, SATA 6 Gb/s interface and a 32 MB cache, these drives are truly an evolution in performance.
Features & Benefits:
- Killer speed
With up to SATA 6 Gb/s interface and 32 MB cache, next generation 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor are up to 15% faster than the award-winning previous generation.
- Rock-solid reliability
Designed and manufactured to missioncritical 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.
- Monstrous capacity
WD VelociRaptor SATA drives are available in capacities up to 600 GB, double the capacity of the previous generation.
- Ultra-cool operation
Consumes less idle power and uses similar active power as the previous generation WD VelociRaptor, while offering double the capacity and higher performance.
- IcePack™ mounting frame
The 2.5-inch WD VelociRaptor is enclosed in a backplane-ready 3.5-inch enterprise-class mounting frame with a built-in heat sink that keeps this powerful little drive extra cool when installed in high-performance desktop chassis.
- Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™)
Optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in vibrationprone, multi-drive chassis.
- NoTouch™ ramp load technology
The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
- Environmentally conscious
In addition to being ROHS compliant, this generation of WD VelociRaptor is also a halogen free design.
- 5-year limited warranty
