WD Raptor X 150GB SATA Announced

[TechZ]

Western Digital today introduced the world's only manufacturer-produced clear-top hard drive, WD Raptor X.

The new Raptor X is mechanically identical to the recently announced WD1500 - 10,000 RPM, 4.6ms seek time, 16MB buffer, and, yes, there's a clear window so you can see what's going on inside!

what's there to see? A moving arm and a spinning disc you probably won't see spinning very much cause it's the same color/texture all over...

meh - the raptors are pretty much obsolete now that SATAII drives are out - the new Deskstar is the best drive out there.

Still pretty awesome. SATAII must be hella fast.

I'm getting 1 74GB Raptor for my new setup, rest will be 2 500GB Seagates or 400GB depending on how much $$$ left over
