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.

  • 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.
  • 2.5-inch Form Factor - For workstations and PCs that support smaller form factor hard drives, such as all-in-one workstation PCs and high-density video storage systems, the WD VelociRaptor is available without its signature IcePack mounting frame.
  • 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.
