Double the capacity - State-of-the-art technology packs twice the capacity per disk compared to its older brother WD Raptor resulting in up to 300 GB of high-performance storage space in this enterprise-class 2.5-inch drive.

Small form factor - This ultra fast 2.5-inch hard drive is engineered to fit into blade servers and other enterprise storage configurations. (Not designed for use in laptop or notebook computers)

Ultra-cool operation - WD VelociRaptor consumes 35% less power than the previous generation of WD Raptor.

Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RAFF) - Optimizes operation and performance when the drives are used in vibration-prone, multi-drive chassis.

NoTouch ramp load technology - The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.

Salamonster 4/1/2013 8:06:49 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Best deal. Pros: I purchased this HDD during cyber monday sales for a great price. On my budget I wouldn't normally go for this, I'd probably do a mix and match of an SSD and a 7200 RPM. It has worked wonderfully. No strange noises, no worrying heat. Cons: Would like to see a better price on HDD like this some day. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Jesse 3/2/2013 8:33:30 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Dead Pros: It shows up in the BIOS Cons: After telling Windows Vista to initialize it in Disk Manager then proceeded to a quick format, it got stuck. Cancel never worked. I rebooted, and Windows freezes every time I log on as long as the hard drive is connected to my motherboard. Disconnecting it fixes the issue. DO NOT BUY! Other Thoughts: At least I got a 1-2 year warranty. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
chevy_dude_1 2/13/2013 12:40:09 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/538 secounds Pros: small form, 10k rpm, 16 mb buffer. XP pro loaded up dated, antivirus , running. From power button to click on desk top......36 secounds....un freakin believable!!! Cons: about 1/4 inch thicker than std lap top hdd. Did you find this review helpful?

glad5tone 1/17/2013 2:37:56 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5Disappointed with Newegg!! Pros: It's a hard drive. Cons: I bought it thinking it was a notebook drive. It's not a notebook drive. Why was it listed as such? I can't return it because it was a refurb unit. Other Thoughts: Good customer service would have caught this error and saved me time! 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 12/28/2012 1:56:42 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5It works Pros: I purchased this to raid with my other 300g raptor drive for gaming. Plug in play all the way, setup was easy and worked great with my current drive. Cons: At first I didn't see the "2.5" I was paying more attention to the specs then the size, wish they advertised the size better, for a full size case and gaming I would have much rather had the full size hard drive.

Hong 12/13/2012 3:44:13 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5Fast indeed Pros: Fast Cons: Error Other Thoughts: Refurbished: 2.5’’ 300GB VelociRaptor WD3000BLFS 10000 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Enterprise Hard Drive -Bare Drive Review on Newegg: I used HD Tune to test it soon after its installation, and it could not finish it due to disk error. HT Tune's error scan found 5 areas with error. I returned it. It is indeed quite fast. The average transfer rate is about 100MB/sec, about 40% than a new WD 500GB 7200 RPM disk. However, you could get a speed close to that from a 1.5TB 7200 RPM HD. As always, Newegg handled the return extremely well. Did you find this review helpful?

JavaOops 12/9/2012 7:33:38 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 2/5Beware not for laptops! Pros: Can't put in laptop. There was no indication that this drive was thicker that a late model 2.5 inch laptop drive. I bought this to put in my T61P from Lenovo, and it doesn't fit. Cons: Can't put in laptop.

N/A 12/1/2012 12:55:48 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great drive! Pros: Fast drive, easy setup. Basically what you'd expect from a 10k drive. Cons: Loud. There is a noticeable squeal that sounds exactly as if you were running your CD/DVD drive at full speed constantly. As soon as I installed it there was a prominent high pitched noise emanating from my case. Other Thoughts: This is a great drive thus far, only time will tell whether it lasts or not. I've had fairly good luck with WD drives so unlike a lot of the other DOA reviews I'm pretty confident this will last a good long while. The drive is temporarily mounted right now, I've ordered an Icepak to help cool it and hopefully dampen the sound. It's a bare drive and listed as such so I can't complain it didn't come with cables or other peripherals. No eggs docked because it seems like a solid drive and the response time is very good. Upgrading from a 7200rpm drive the speed and access times are immediately noticeable. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
trdrvr2 11/13/2012 7:11:39 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5WD3000BLFS Pros: It got here soon Cons: Where is the heat sink that is supposed to be attached to it? Other Thoughts: I guess new egg is trying to get rid of these things. Had I known i could have bought one with a 32mb cache, brand new, with a heat sink, I would have bought that one instead. 2 out of 13 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Systic 10/1/2012 8:02:18 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good Drive! Pros: Fast Far cheaper than a new 300GB Raptor Quieter than my original 150GB raptor Cons: No IcePack drive heatsink Other Thoughts: I used the heatsink from a far dead drive as a replacement so not being shipped with one wasn't an issue. Did a surface scan and stress test of the drive before I restored an OS image and found no errors whatsoever. Buying good drives like makes me look at recertified/refurbished drives more positively. 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
