Knock of Death - Western Digital VelociRaptor Hard Drive

[Messerschmitt262a2a]

wow, the early version of the velociraptor, doesn´t fit in many external hdd docking stations because the interface is on the drive itself... nowadays you connect the velos not to the drive itself, the 3,5" version has an extra board for the interface...

too bad that its dead... i really would like to hear the seek pattern of those

I have 2 Maxtors running at up to 40.000+ hours now. Bought a Velociraptor 600gb for the speed, not for the reliability. I wonder how long it will last. Samsung and Maxtor are the two most reliable drives i ever had

[an65001]

Open it up and throw stuff at it and see what happens! :D

[theringfilm1]

[30GB]

i think my maxtor had like 3000 hours on it or 4 years and its still kicking ass today lol

[christiancapella1]

30GB: Quite uncommon for a Maxtor hard drive. How many GB's was it? Cause the older Maxtors were better then new Maxtors.

[30GB]

@christiancapella1 i checked the date and its 2003 so its been 7 years so far and it works great and like my youtube channel its 30gb lol

[christiancapella1]

30GB: You're a lucky one to have a working Maxtor hard drivwe.

[30GB]

@christiancapella1 i dont know but i have over 3 other maxtor drives and they dont fail. One of them is 80gb and i had it for 3 years still working great as a backup drive.
