jmke · 21st April 2008, 14:01

The Velociraptor WD3000GLFS, spins at Raptor's standard 10,000RPM and comes with 300GB of capacity with 16MiByte of cache. The drive now supports SATA 3.0 Gbit/s, higher data rate of 120MB/s, lower read seek time at 4.2ms and it has lowered write seek time to 4.7ms.

The new Velociraptor is a two platter, four head 2.5 inch hard drive placed in a WD IcePak cooling enclosure which should reduce the temperature of this 2.5 inch speeding dinosaur by about 7 °C. The MTBF (Mean time between failures) is also improved to 1.4M hours. As the previous generation of Raptors this one will also come with 5 years of warranty.
