WD VelociRaptor ® – Workstation Hard Drives

WD VelociRaptor drives offer an unmatched combination of high performance and high reliability, perfect for workstations, high-end video and photo editing, low-end servers and performance enthusiasts’ systems.

Product Benefits

• Ultra-Fast – Designed around a 10,000 RPM spin speed, these SATA 6Gb/s drives include a 64 MB cach and deliver the ultimate performance for photo and video editing.
• Rock-Solid Reliability – With 1.4 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high capacity SATA drive.
• High Capacity – State- of-the-art technology delivers a balance of high performance and high capacity perfect for data-intensive workloads that require large amounts of storage such as video editing, 3D rendering and scientific modeling.
• Low-Power Operation – Consumes less active and idle power than the previous generation WD VeloiRaptor, while offering 66% more capacity and high performance.
• Advanced Format (AF) Technology adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities.
• 2.5-Inch Form Factor – For workstations and PCs that support smaller form factor hard drives such as all-in0one workstation PCs and high-density video storage systems, the WD VelociRaptor is available without its signature IcePack™ mounting frame.
• Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™) – Optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone, 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.
• Pre-Emptive Wear Leveling (PWL) – Ensures reliability for applications that perform a high incidence of read/write operations at the same physical location on the disk.
