Western Digital 300GB VelociRaptor 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive - WD3000GLFSRTL

Western Digital 300GB VelociRaptor 3.5" SATA Internal Hard Drive, Model WD3000GLFSRTL

Features:

• Killer speed
  Built on the performance bloodlines of WD Raptor, these 10,000 RPM drives, with SATA 3 Gb/s interface, and 16 MB cache deliver mind-bending performance. Not only are they 35 percent faster than the previous generation WD Raptor 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 disk compared to its older brother WD Raptor resulting in 300 GB of high-performance storage space in this enterprise-class 2.5-inch drive. (Not compatible with notebook computers)
• IcePack mounting frame
  The 2.5-inch WD VelociRaptor is enclosed in a 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. (This drive is not backplane compatible.)
• 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
