Western Digital just announced their new VelociRaptor hard drives, the next generation of their popular Raptor drives. Gamers everywhere are rejoicing, as they now double the size of the previous high-speed drives, coming in at 300GB. What makes these drives so great is their speed, drives available to the consumer today generally top out at 7200rpm (revolutions per minute), but the Raptor drives clock in at 10,000rpm. Other cool factors are a 3.0Gb SATA connection and 16MB cache, and the drive is shrunk to 2.5 inch form factor, but still mounted in a 3.5 inch tray, utilizing a proprietary built-in cooling system.
I want 4, but since I don't have $1200 to hand over to WD, I'll just pretend to have them, like I do with all the other tech toys I want.
