Western Digital Raptor X
Western Digital have today announced their new Raptor HDD, called Raptor X (lot's of imagination there then). Those that don't know, the Raptor HDDs are awesome things that give home computers near-SCSI like performance, and spin around at a godly 10,000 RPM. The only 2 sizes are 32g and 74g. Their also not cheap.
I've owned 2x74 and 1x32 since last summer, and the 2 big ones are RAID-0, and they make loading times a doddle.
The new X series has the same specs as before, but come in at a reasonable 150gig, and a crucial 16mbyte cache (double that of it's older brothers), and also feature a see-through case and leds, useful for anyone with a window in their case. They don't come cheap either, and can be preordered from the Raptor X website for just $349. Check the site for more pics and even a video.
Am I gonna get one? maybe...... :p
