Product brief - Western Digital Raptor X (150GB Hard Drive)
Hide

Description: This Western Digital Raptor X is a 150GB, workstation class hard disk drive. Compared to other workstation class hard drives on the market, it is midpriced at around $220. Its maximum internal data transfer rate (how fast it can actually pull data from the disk surface) of 102 MBps is very fast, compared to the typical hard drive. Its burst transfer rate is 150 MBps. This is a 10000 rpm drive and has a 16MB buffer.

Pros: Has a 16MB buffer, which is larger than some similarly priced hard drives. Also, this hard drive spins at 10000 rpm, which is faster than some similarly priced hard drives. With a Serial-ATA controller interface, this drive sports one of the most advanced technologies for high-speed data transfer.

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A workstation class hard drive, suited for enterprise level data storage and transfer.

Value: Overall, this hard drive has good features for the money. In fact, you would usually pay about 25% more to get a workstation class hard drive having a comparable data transfer rate.
