Western Digital, as usual, is behind the curve by quite a lot. SDDs are what all storage devices will be in the near future.

Instead of wasting resources on more mechanical complexity, they might consider that the SDD train is leaving the station. Get on baord or get off the platform.

They should admit SSD will quickly replace mechanical disks. With 20.000 RPM heat problems will happen and failures will follow. SSD are still getting faster, safer, bigger and cheaper.

I used to use the raptor series drives a few years back never had anything but good experiences with them. I would choose a 20,000 RPM drive over an SSD if the price were comparable.

I have always favoured the WD Raptor serise over any SSD drive.. and this 20k RPM is looking awsome. Although, i expect the prices to be stupidly high when they first come out
