The All New WD Velociraptor
The new Velociraptor is actually a 2.5-inch hard drive fitted in a heatsink and an additional SATA adapter to attain the 3.5-inch standard. The heatsink dissipates heat that is generated by the hard drive due to its super-fast spindle speed of 10000 RPM, faster than the now common 7200 RPM. Velociraptors carry SATA 6Gbps interface.
