Western Digital also provides you with rugged and environmentally-friendly mechanics in the VelociRaptor HDD series drives. To start, these drives are halogen-free in addition to being ROHS compliant, a nice feature for environmentally conscious users. Western Digital has implemented the industry-leading ShockGuard technology, which protects the drive’s mechanics and platter surfaces from impact vibration. For additional non-operational shock tolerance, the NoTouch Ramp Load tech secures the recording heads away from the disk during spin up, spin down, and when the drives are off. This results in much less wear and tear, meaning your drive lasts for a long time. If the worst should occur, the VelociRaptor hard drive is equipped with hot swap, allowing you confidence that your data is never lost. Furthermore, the 2.5-inch drive is enclosed in a 3.5-inch icepack mounting frame (backplane ready) with a built-in heat sink to keep it running cool even during heavy performance. Finally, this storage device utilizes Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward (RaFF) technology, which optimizes operation and performance for instances in which the drive is used in a multi-drive chassis. With its long-term reliability, durability, speed, and broad compatibility, the Western Digital WD3000HLHX VelociRaptor SATA III hard drive stands up to even the most demanding system needs. This Western Digital WD3000HLHX VelociRaptor 300GB 10k-RPM SCSI HDD internal hard disk drive provides the best performance if kept between 41 and 131 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity range between 5 and 95 percent. It is also compliant with S.M.A.R.T. standards.
