WD launches

WD has recently announced that it is now shipping WD Velociraptor 450GB and
600GB hard drives, the next generation of its 10,000 RPM SATA family of hard
drives. The new WD Velociraptor hard drive is designed for blade servers,
high-performance PCs, Mac computers, professional workstations, as well as 1U
and 2U rack servers that require a balance of high performance and capacity.

The WD Velociraptor hard drive is built with enterprise class mechanics that
provide 24x7 durability under high-performance demands and packs up to 600GB of
capacity into a 2.5-inch enterprise form factor. The product is also available
in the IcePack enclosure, a 3.5-inch mounting frame with a built-in heat sink, a
factory customization that fits the drive into a standard 3.5-inch system bay
and keeps this powerful drive extra cool when installed in a high-performance
desktop chassis and 3.5-inch HDD form factor enterprise chassis.
