Key Features
Ultra-cool operation – WD VelociRaptor consumes 35% less
power than the previous generation of WD Raptor.
IcePack ™ mounting frame – The 2.5-inch WD VelociRaptor is
enclosed in a backplane-ready 3.5-inch enterprise-class mounting
frame with a built-in heat sink that keeps this powerful little drive extra
cool when installed in high-performance desktop chassis.
Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF ™ ) – Optimizes
operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-
prone, multi-drive chassis.
NoTouch ™ ramp load technology – The recording head never
touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the
recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.
