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.

Pros: Fast, quiet (for a 10k RPM drive)
Cons: Small capacity, gets very hot, expensive
Bottom Line:
If speed is your name, the Raptor is your game. If browsing and net surfing is your thing, you can forget this bling.

Western Digital Breaks New Ground
| Author's Rating: |
|
Pros: Fantastically fast, good capacity, very well built drive, designed for power users
Cons: requires PCI card and SATA cables to use, sometimes loud, not for casual users
Bottom Line:
Great drive for power users who care about every micrometer of speed. Too expensive for those who dont kill drives yearly, and dont care about a micrometer of extra speed.

Pros: Easy Installation
Cons: Absolutely horrible performance; WD support is totally worthless
