300GB 10000 RPM VelociRaptor

This Western Digital WD VelociRaptor is a 300GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 32MB cache. It connects via a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and is supplied as a bare drive. The unit is a refurbished product intended for desktop systems.

Suits legacy performance builds.

The drive suits enthusiasts maintaining older workstations or servers that benefit from high spindle speed and low access latency on the SATA bus. It is not for users who need large storage volumes, silent operation, or the throughput of modern solid-state storage.

10000 RPM spindle speed

The 10000 RPM rotational speed is the defining specification that separates this VelociRaptor from standard desktop drives. It determines the drive's random I/O performance and access time characteristics within the limits of the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface.

Questions about this item

How does the 300 GB capacity suit different storage needs?

The 300 GB capacity suits an operating system drive, core applications and a working set of active projects, while bulk media and archives are better kept on a larger secondary drive.

What real-world benefit does the 10000 RPM spindle provide?

The 10000 RPM spindle lowers average rotational latency and raises sustained throughput, so operating system loads, application launches and large-file reads complete faster than on slower-spinning drives.

What does the SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface cap in practice?

The SATA 6.0 Gb/s interface caps the maximum burst transfer rate at 6.0 Gb/s, while sustained read and write speeds remain limited by the mechanical 10000 RPM platters and 32 MB cache.
