Western Digital Raptor X 150GB 10000RPM Hard Drive: There's fast... and there's FAST!!

So much of the computer's speed is determined by the hard drive. Sure the amount of RAM, bus speed on the motherboard as well as CPU and Graphics processing power is integral, however the speed at which data can be off-loaded by the Hard Drive will have a direct impact on the performance of your PC. Now Western Digital blew us all away with the Raptor 74GB drive, however disk space was a limitation. The new blistering Western Digital Raptor X 150GB 10000RPM Hard Drive sports a much healthier 150GB of space and boasts unbelievable disk speeds, easily eclipsing it's older brother!

I read in Atomic magazine that the distance between the surface of the 10,000RPM spinning disk and hard drive head is only one two-thousandth the width of a human hair!! The manufacturing of hard drives is phenomenal! Well the Raptor X is blistering in speed to say the least! With it's 10000RPM speed, now 16MB cache and the utilisation of NCQ as a native Sata drive, the Raptor X destroys competitors and as claimed by Hothardware.com, leaves the highly acclaimed DiamondMax 10 7200 RPM drives in it's wake. Sure the price is a bit steep, but to obtain performance you need to be willing to part way with a few extra bucks. However given the 150GB capacity as opposed to the 74GB of the old Raptor, this Raptor X is a lot more functional as your computer's primary hard drive... let the blood flow!!
