HOLY FRICKIN' CRAP!!!! That is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!!! I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The price is outragous, but it is still frickin' awesome! I think I would just let my antivirus do a system scan all day long just so I could watch the thing twitch and whir lol :lol:

Oh man, I so want one of these! DAMN
Yeah, really cool...

Did I mention that I want one? :rolleyes: :drinkers:

Just a tad over priced I guess, but they are sweet looking.

I don't understand why they have to allways get so greedy. if it would cost half as much, then everybody would be buying it and WD would also make much more profit. this way it will be only for few and this is bad for us and bad for them :(

Yeah, but there must still be enough people buying them at the high prices to make them happy... At least for right now :(

WD can almost charge what they want...WD have the only 10K rpm sata drive..
Seagate/Maxtor are big in the SCSI market....If they compete with WD in SATA then they will cause SCSI customers to buy SATA (SCSI is now ~ the same price now :shock: )

WD are now threatening Seagate and Maxtor in the 10K rpm SCSI market with a SATA drive :shock:.....
The only thing stopping people switching is reliability and of course "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"

The raptor, until now was a enterprise product.....
