WD leaks out info of 20K Raptor drive at Computex...
The word was loud on computex regarding this enws topic for sure. To be able to compete with the up and coming Solid State drives Western Digital is rumored to be working on a 20.000 RPM Raptor drive. See, this is the effect of competition. In our Computex report we already stated that prices on SDD drivers are going down pretty hard over the coming and next year and the read/write & copy speed of these things are now moving towards 200 MB/sec .. and that's just crazy fast.
So that has to worry manufacturers like Western Digital. Ah well it's just a rumor ... or isn't it ?
