La primera vista del disco duro de la Western Digital llamado VelociRaptor

[Jorge Gaitan]

Western Digital picked an extremely appropriate name for its new
10,000 rpm (rotations per minute) hard drive. Dubbed the VelociRaptor,
this new drive, introduced today, screamed through our performance
tests in the PC World Test Center. Velocity is clearly the raison
d'etre for this drive: It handily bested our tested field of hard
drives to become our top overall performer.

Unlike many hard drives, which show strengths and weaknesses in our
tests, the VelociRaptor actually demonstrated its strength across the
PC World Test Center's entire suite of hard drive tests; it came out
on top time and again. The VelociRaptor's most dramatic results: The
required just 89 seconds to write 3.06GB of files and folders, besting
the next-best drive in our chart, the Western Digital Caviar SE16
750GB, by 32 seconds--an impressive improvement of 26 percent.
