Kasi spotted this review over on StorageReview. It's the first review I've seen of the new 150GB member of WD's 10,000-rpm Raptor family of hard drives. With the WD1500, the manufacturer finally moves the Raptor series to a native SATA implementation complete with NCQ. Like the server-oriented Caviar RE2, the Raptor features a standard first-generation 150 MB/sec interface rather than the 300 MB/sec conduit found on many newer units. WD feels that electronics capable of negotiating at 300 MB/sec are sufficiently proven for its standard consumer-oriented drives but not quite mature enough to mate with enterprise-class products.
Our thread on the new Raptor is here, with comments on this review near the end.
