Western Digital Raptor X – Return of the 10,000 RPM King @ TweakTown
Published: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 | Posted By: Dennis
In an attempt to make a bad Lord of the Rings reference TweakTown has released a new review.
"Hard drives are vacuum sealed from the factory to prevent the entry of foreign matter on the drive platters. When you open a drive you allow air, moisture and foreign matter into the drive, which results in bad sectors, data corruption and eventually, rendering the drive totally useless. The Raptor X has a factory built in window allowing you to view the drive platters and heads at work, which is a much safer option than doing the mod yourself."
King of not 10k RPM rox, the only thing better would be 15k RPM for which I would expect 16Meg buffers and full SATA2 support.
