Western Digital VelociRaptor - 250GB 10,000RPM 4Kn SATA III 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5" Enterprise Class Hard Drive - WD2500HHTZ

WD VelociRaptor Workstation Hard Drives

WD VelociRaptor drives offer an unmatched combination of high performance and high reliability, perfect for workstations, high-end video and photo editing, low-end servers and performance enthusiasts’ systems. Comes with a 3.5-inch mounting frame for easy installation into today's high-performance systems and chassis.

• Ultra Fast - Designed around a 10,000 RPM spin speed, these SATA 6 Gb/s drives include a 64 MB cache and deliver the ultimate performance for photo and video editing.
• Rock Solid Reliability - With 1.4 million hours MTBF, these drives have the highest available reliability rating on a high capacity SATA drive.
• High Capacity - State-of-the-art technology delivers a balance of high performance and high capacity perfect for data-intensive workloads that require large amounts of storage such as video editing, 3D rendering and scientific modeling.
• Low Power Operation - Consumes less active and idle power than the previous generation WD VelociRaptor, while offering 66% more capacity and higher performance.
• Advanced Format (AF) - Technology adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities.
• Ultra Cool Operation - Consumes less idle power and uses similar active power as the previous generation WD VelociRaptor, while offering double the capacity and higher performance.
• IcePack Mounting Frame - The 2.5-inch WD VelociRaptor is enclosed in a backplane-ready 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.
• 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.
• Environmentally Conscious - In addition to being ROHS compliant, this generation of WD VelociRaptor is also a halogen free design.
• 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.
