150GB Raptor? (1 Comments) (link)
 Monday, 26-December-2005  13:57:46 (GMT +10) - by Agg

We've been fans of Western Digital's Raptor series of 10,000rpm drives for a while now. You might remember Chainbolt doing a series of articles on them over the last couple of years. He looked at the original 36GB model back in May 2003, and in that June explored how they worked in RAID configurations. Then of course the 74GB model came out, and he reviewed that in January 2004. It's strange that such a popular and cutting-edge family of drives hasn't been updated in nearly two years, but at last there's rumours (here and here, for example) of a 150GB model on the way. That's still pretty small compared to the 500GB monsters available in 7200rpm, but of course the strength will be its speed.

There's a few comments in this thread in our Storage, Backup & Memory forum.
