<b>Fastest SATA hard drive on the planet.</b>
10,000 RPM, 32 MB cache and a SATA 6 Gb/s interface gives gamers the speed advantage they crave.
<b>Killer speed.</b>
SATA 6 Gb/s interface and 32 MB cache enhance the next generation 10,000 RPM WD VelociRaptor making it up to 15% faster than the award-winning previous generation.
<b>Ultra-cool operation.</b>
Consumes less idle power and uses similar active power as the previous generation WD VelociRaptor, while offering double the capacity and higher performance.
<b>Monstrous capacity.</b>
Twice the capacity of previous generations makes this the largest capacity 10,000 RPM SATA drive ever.
<b>Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF).</b>
Optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multi-drive chassis.
<b>NoTouch ramp load technology.</b>
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.
<b>Environmentally conscious.</b>
In addition to being ROHS compliant, this generation of WD VelociRaptor is also a halogen-free design.
<b>Rock-solid reliability.</b>
Best-in-class 1.4 million hour MTBF and 5-year limited warranty, makes these the most reliable SATA hard drives around.
<b>Ideal for:</b>
Performance enthusiast systems, workstations, and low-end servers.
<b>IcePack mounting frame.</b>
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. (HLHX and HLFS models)
