  • SATA Hard Drive with a Kick: Western Digital's Raptor Put to the Test
    May 1, 2003 – 1:01 PM
    Although it only serves up a meager 36 GB, it offers a lot more than you'd normally expect from an IDE hard disk drive. The Raptor, alias WD360 is a new hard disk drive that is attracting considerable attention to itself due to two major new features: it spins at 10,000 rpm and comes complete with Serial ATA.
