Ultra fast

Designed around a 10,000 RPM spin 
speed, these SATA 6 Gb/s drives include 
a 64 MB cache 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. 

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.

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.

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 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. 

5-year limited warranty
