Western Digital Korea announced the launch of its new 10,000 rpm hard drive ‘VelociRaptor’ in Korea market in mid of May.

The latest in Western Digital’s family of Raptor 10,000 rpm drives, the 300GB VelociRaptor doubles the capacity of WD’s previous-generation 150GB Raptor drive.

WD squeezed its 10,000 rpm drive into a 2.5-inch chassis. Although the drive itself measures only 2.5-inches, the VelociRaptor is designed for a 3.5-inch drive bay.

Heat generation remains a constant concern with hard drives, particularly when the drive is spinning as rapidly as it does on a 10,000 rpm model. WD tackles the issue head on by mounting the 2.5-inch VelociRaptor drive into a heat sink sled. The IcePack heat sink helps the VelociRaptor run cooler than the previous-generation Raptor.

WD plans to target the drive at gamers and PC enthusiasts first, even though the VelociRaptor has been designed for enterprise-class applications, too, and the company expects it to be adopted in enterprise settings as well.

Suggested price is 299(USD).
