High-speed 1 TB internal drive

The WD VelociRaptor WD1000CHTZ is a 1 TB internal hard drive spinning at 10000 rpm with a 64 MB buffer. It targets workstations, high-end video and photo editing, low-end servers and performance enthusiasts who need fast sequential access on a SATA interface.

Standard 2.5" SATA installation

The drive uses a 2.5 inch form factor and connects through a SATA/600 interface. Mount it in any 2.5 inch bay or with a 3.5 inch adapter, then attach a standard SATA data and power cable. No special drivers are required, but the 10000 rpm spindle can generate more heat and vibration than typical desktop drives, so ensure the chassis has adequate airflow.

Verify SATA power and mounting space

Confirm your system provides a free SATA data port and a matching SATA power connector. Check that the drive cage or bracket can secure a 2.5 inch device and that airflow reaches the drive to manage the higher operating temperature of a 10000 rpm unit. Builders needing a second drive for RAID or extra capacity should verify additional ports and physical bays are available.
