大意: 西部数据公司今天宣布，正式发售其高端个人应用万转SATA硬盘Raptor系列的新产品：VelociRaptor，容量在上代150GB的基础上翻倍达到300GB，性能提升据称达到35%。新VelociRaptor是在企业级硬盘的基础上开发的，支持PC和Mac系统。实际上，这款硬盘使用了10000rpm的2.5寸企业级硬盘，但外壳为3.5寸规格的IcePack，空余空间设计为散热片，更适合顶级玩家用户群的需求。规格方面，VelociRaptor为10000RPM，SATA 3Gb/s接口，16MB缓存，平均无故障工作时间MTBF达到140万小时。RAFF技术可在硬盘使用于振动环境或多盘环境时调整其性能表现，SecurePark技术则可在盘片加速减速或待机时将磁头停放在盘外，提高长时间使用的可靠性。VelociRaptor型号为WD3000GLFS，本月底即将随Alienware的ALX高性能PC发售，最高可选配两块该盘组成RAID 0。到5月中旬，VelociRaptor将开始零售，建议零售价为299.99美元(Skyangeles)
