Western Digital has announced that it is now shipping the new WD VelociRaptor 1 TB hard drive, the latest addition to its drive family. Leveraging enterprise-class mechanics to provide 24x7 durability under high-performance workloads the new WD VelociRaptor 1 TB hard drive is geared for creative professionals who demand the ultimate SATA drive. Creative pros use write-intensive applications that manage large, dynamic files – for example, video editing and digital content creation and management, which ultimately put a strain on storage devices that utilize write-challenged NAND memory for performance enhancement.
Khwaja Saifuddin, Director Sales – Middle East, Africa & South Asia, said, “The high- performance 1 TB WD VelociRaptor is aimed at enabling power users such as gaming enthusiasts and media professionals to push their creative boundaries. The drive delivers the ultimate combination of speed and storage, and Indian professionals with heavy computing requirements will be delighted with its power-packed performance.”
The WD VelociRaptor 2.5-inch hard drive comes in the IcePack enclosure, a 3.5-inch mounting frame with built-in heat sink – a factory customization that fits the drive into a standard 3.5-inch system bay and keeps the powerful drive extra cool when installed in a high-performance desktop or workstation system.
Its features include, Rock-solid reliability – Designed and manufactured to workstation standards to deliver stellar reliability in high workload environments and Ultra-cool operation – Consumes less idle power and uses similar active power as the previous generation WD VelociRaptor while offering greater capacity and performance. WD hard drives are available at select distributors, resellers and e-tailers, and come with a five-year limited warranty.
