Hardware Zone gets their hands on the Western Digital Raptor drive. The performance of this drive is truly impressive. I can not wait to see larger versions come out so I can replace my 80 GB WD drive:
If you've been waiting for that ultimate serial ATA drive, there's nothing else that comes even closer than what the new Western Digital Raptor drive offers. Spinning at a whopping 10,000 RPM, it's the first of its kind made for the serial ATA interface. Positioned as an enterprise drive, the Raptor is targeted at the high-end storage segment where performance and cost are of greater consideration
