With its 10000RPM rotation speed, 32MB cache and SATA 6.0Gbp/s interface, the WD VelociRaptor blends performance and quality for high-performance computing, digital content creation, scientific computing and image management. A set of innovative WD technologies — including Pre-emptive Wear Leveling (PWL), NoTouch ramp load design, and Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) — work behind the scenes to ensure you best-in-class stability and reliability. A mounting frame with built-in heatsink keeps the HDD nice and cool, even during challenging environments.
- Ultra fastDesigned around a 10,000RPM spin speed, this SATA 6 Gb/s drives include a 32MB cache, and deliver the ultimate performance for photo and video editing.
- Ultra-cool operationConsumes less idle power and uses similar active power as the previous generation WD VelociRaptor, while offering higher capacity and performance.
- 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.
- NoTouch ramp load technologyThe recording head never touches the disk media. This ensures significantly less wear to the recording head and media, as well as better drive protection in transit.
- Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF)Optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in a vibration-prone, multi-drive chassis.
