Everyone who is heavy into their PC knows what a Raptor drive is, and what it stands for, fast drives that exceed the competition and enhance system performance. The Raptor was introduced as a SATA (Serial ATA) drive series to compete with the Server environments SCSI drives only for the desktop environment instead. SCSI drives were spinning at 15,000 RPMs and had excellent access and read times, but were limited to a different sector of the PC biz (Business) not to mention quite pricey. So when Western Digital introduced these 10,000 RPM drives to the desktop market it was an excellent move for them and very beneficial to the power user whether they be them gamer, artist or CAD developer or anyone who needed the speed offered in the Raptor series.
