The new Western Digital Raptor X hard drive takes all the technology that made the Raptor 74 GB model so impressive, and improved upon it in many ways. The Raptor X still maintains the ultra-fast 10,000 RPM spin rate that is responsible for most of the high performance numbers that the Raptor’s provide over the rest of the hard drive world that is still running at 7200 RPM.

With Seagate’s Barracuda 7200.9, you’ve got half a terabyte of storage on tap, making the drive perfect for applications where lots of storage space is necessary. In other words, this drive would probably feel right at home sitting inside a gamer’s or a video enthusiast’s PC. After all, both of these users demand a lot from their hard drive.
