The moment you fi re up a WD Raptor, it’s readily
apparent you’re in the presence of PC greatness.
The drive’s 4.5ms seek times and class-leading
10,000rpm spindle speed make upgrading from a
7,200rpm drive feel like you’re moving from dial-up
to broadband. As the only 10,000rpm SATA drive
on the market, the Raptor is the fastest desktop-
level hard drive by a wide margin, and thus, for the
second straight year, it’s our Hard Drive Of The Year.
