High-speed server storage
The Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS is a 300GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 16MB cache. It connects through a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and is supplied as a bare drive. The unit is designed for server environments that demand quick data access.
Capacity and headroom
The 300GB capacity suits operating systems, applications and frequently accessed project files. Average seek time of 4.2ms and average write time of 4.7ms keep latency low at 3ms nominal during heavy read and write workloads. Larger media libraries or long-term archives will exceed the available space.
Build integration
A 2.5-inch mechanism sits inside an IcePack mounting frame that provides a 3.5-inch backplane-ready form factor with an integrated heat sink. The drive requires a standard SATA data and power connection in a 3.5-inch bay. The frame frees the builder from sourcing a separate adapter or cooling bracket.

Questions about this item
Will the 3.5-inch IcePack frame let this 10000 RPM VelociRaptor fit in the same drive bay as my older 3.5-inch SATA drives?
Yes, the 2.5-inch mechanism is mounted inside a 3.5-inch enterprise frame with a built-in heat sink, so it occupies a standard 3.5-inch bay and uses the same SATA 3.0Gb/s connectors as older drives.
How can I verify the 10000 RPM VelociRaptor is performing at its rated 4.2 ms seek and 3 ms latency after installation?
Run a SMART health check and a synthetic benchmark such as CrystalDiskMark; sustained throughput near the SATA 3.0Gb/s ceiling and access times close to 4.2 ms read / 4.7 ms write confirm the drive is operating to specification.
The listing says bare drive — does the package include SATA data and power cables or the IcePack mounting screws?
Bare drive means only the VelociRaptor inside its 3.5-inch IcePack frame is supplied; SATA data cable, power cable and any mounting screws must be purchased separately.
