Product Description

 
To meet the demands of enterprise storage, Western Digital is the only company to combine an enterprise-class hard drive with the SATA interface to meet all the demands of the enterprise environment - reliability, performance, and reduced cost. Serial ATA is poised to replace Parallel SCSI in the mid-range, but only if there's a drive that can meet the performance and reliability requirements of that market. That drive is the WD Raptor! The WD Raptor is a new class of hard drive that matches SCSI performance and reliability and provides simplified connectivity, all at 30 percent less cost than Parallel SCSI drives.

More like a Cheetah

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2004

I would NOT have picked these up if they weren't at...

The (second) Fastest non-scsi Drive available

Date of Review:  Apr 2, 2004
The Bottom Line: I must if you need this level of performance, but arent' ready to step up to a hardcore SCSI solution.

Downside to Serial ATA

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2003
The Bottom Line: Great Drive, Awesome Performance, Fragile Connectors. I recommend the drive for performance, but warn about the connectors.
Review: I bought one of these Serial ATA drives for a customer of mine. Straight from the package it was broken, my wholesaler wouldn t warranty it, and now Western Digital is reviewing the item. The thin shelf the serial pins lay on is very fragile, and...
