Product Benefits
Killer Speed
– Built on the performance bloodlines of WD Raptor
®
, these 10,000 RPM
drives, with a SATA 6 Gb/s interface and 32 MB cache, deliver mind-bending performance.
Not only are they up to 15% percent faster than the previous generation
WD VelociRaptor drives, but they also beat out all other competitors in the field.
Rock-solid Reliability
– Designed and manufactured to mission-critical
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.
Double the Capacity
– State-of-the-art technology packs twice the capacity per drive
compared to the previous generation of WD VelociRaptor, resulting in up to 600 GB of
high-performance storage space in this enterprise-class 2.5-inch drive. (Not compatible with
notebook computers)
Small form factor
– This ultra fast 2.5-inch hard drive is engineered to fit into blade servers
and other enterprise storage configurations. (Not designed for use in laptop or notebook
computers)
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.

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.
Pre-emptive Wear Leveling (PWL)
– Designed to ensure reliability for applications that
perform a high number of incoming commands.
Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF™)
– Optimizes operation and performance
when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multi-drive chassis.
