more...enterprise storage, coupled with the decline in IT budgets, creates a need for reliable, low-cost solutions. Enter Serial ATA (SATA), a new interface developed with enterprise storage in mind. Some hard drive companies design desktop-class hard drives with the SATA interface, but WD is going one better. To meet the demands of enterprise storage, Western Digital is the only company to combine an enterprise-class hard drive with the SATA interface to meet all the demands of the enterprise environment - reliability, performance, and reduced cost. Serial ATA is poised to replace Parallel SCSI in the mid-range, but only if there's a drive that can meet the performance and reliability requirements of that market. That drive is the WD Raptor! The WD Raptor is a new class of hard drive that matches SCSI performance and reliability and provides simplified connectivity, all at 30 percent less cost than Parallel SCSI drives.

Review of Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7 GB by bigdavep

Advantages: 10,000 RPM, SATA
Disadvantages: Size

This hard drive is nothing short of fantastic. Right, straight to the tech details. Its a 36gb hard drive. Now i first thought that its too small, but lets face it, this hard drive has been designed for being a main system drive and not a data drive so its only going to really have MS Windows, Office, A load of applications and games. Its Serial ATA so it talks to the motherboard and processor at 150MHz which is 50MHz faster than most standard ... Read review

Review of Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7 GB by fitz101

Advantages: Fast, fast and fast!
Disadvantages: Noisy and expensive

If you want the maximum in hard drive speed this is what you want. Almost as fast as most SCSI drives but accessible to the home user with not much experience. This is a 36GB drive with a punch. Most SATA drives will never reach their full potential mainly due to their spindle speed of 7,200RPM, but the Raptors are one of the few drives with 10,000 RPM. Coupled with the 150MHz SATA bus speed this leads to transfer rates edging on 100 Mbps. For ... Read review

Review of Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7 GB by ashiron2

Advantages: Great Speed and Reliability
Disadvantages: Could do with more memory

The Western Digital Raptor is a phenominal hard drive. It runs at 10,000 rpm(compared to the average of 7,500 rpm) which makes for a very fast hard drive. It is a Serial ATA disk rather than an IDE disk which makes for not only faster speed(150 mbps) but less cable clutter thus making a more practical hard drive for PC builders and the less experienced PC user This product is at the peak of technology it is not just faster and more efficient than ...
