Product Information
The Western Digital Raptor 36 GB hard drive is the first SATA drive with a spindle speed of 10,000 rpm, which means that its performance approaches that of Parallel SCSI drives at a fraction of the cost. The Raptor hard drive (model WD360GD) is a workhorse, reaching average data seek speeds of 4.5 ms. In addition to its superior performance, this Western Digital hard drive is extremely reliable. In testing, the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) was approximately 1.2 million hours. The distinguishing feature of The Western Digital Raptor 36 GB hard drive is its efficiency. The Raptor hard drive sequences data transfers using Western Digital’s Ultra 150 Command Queuing technology, delivering high performance at speeds that compete with much more expensive units. Thanks to its Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward technology, this Western Digital hard drive operates with very low vibration, making it suitable for enterprise environments. As a result, the Western Digital Raptor 36 GB hard drive works well in RAID-0 configurations, which use multiple drives to create larger virtual hard drives with increased space and improved performance.Product Identifiers
