Western Digital WD3000HLHX VelociRaptor 300GB 10000 RPM 32MB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" internal hard drive

VelociRaptor 300GB 10000 RPM drive

The Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLHX is a 300GB desktop internal hard drive that spins at 10000 RPM with a 32MB cache. It connects through a SATA 6.0Gb/s interface and fits a standard 3.5 inch bay using the included IcePack mounting frame. The drive is supplied new as a bare unit without retail packaging.

Suits performance-focused desktops, not mass storage

This drive targets enthusiasts and workstations that prioritise low latency and fast sequential access for operating systems, applications or scratch disks. The 300GB capacity and 10000 RPM spindle suit workloads that benefit from quick seek times. Buyers who need more storage space or a lower-cost archive drive should consider higher-capacity alternatives.

300GB capacity with 32MB cache headroom

The 300GB capacity comfortably holds an operating system, core applications and active project files while the 32MB cache smooths burst workloads. Performance scales with the SATA 6.0Gb/s link, though the mechanical spindle ultimately limits sustained throughput. For large media libraries or bulk backups the available space runs out quickly.
