Raptor X

Features:

Western Digital Corp. has introduced the world's only manufacturer-produced clear-top hard drive, WD Raptor X.

The unique 10,000 RPM Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives feature 150 GB capacity, 16 MB cache and Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for peak performance.



WD is responding to widespread popularity among performance enthusiasts of the unmatched performance of the original enterprise-class WD Raptor. The company designed the WD Raptor X to perform at the highest levels like its predecessors, as well as display a radically progressive style for PC and Mac owners who modify or enhance their computing systems, thrive on high-performance gaming or otherwise demand the most extreme components available.

As the only major component inside a PC with moving parts, all hard drives until now have been sealed with a solid metal top. WD Raptor X features a large clear lens embedded in the top through which the read and write action of the drive's head and disk assembly can be viewed while the drive delivers data, audio and video content and games to PC and Mac performance enthusiasts in just milliseconds.

While introducing several new materials into the drive's critical structure, the only acceptable result for WD's engineering team was to maintain the unparalleled performance that WD Raptor offered the computing industry, as well as the high reliability customers have come to expect from WD.

The new WD Raptor X hard drives feature NCQ for optimum random I/O performance. It uses the RAFF (Rotary Accelerometer Feed Forward) technology, which protects drive performance from rotational vibration created by fans and other hard drives that rob performance.

Price:

Estimated retail pricing for WD Raptor X is Rs. 15,000/-.
