High-performance desktop storage
The Western Digital WD VelociRaptor WD5000HHTZ is a 500GB 3.5-inch internal hard drive spinning at 10000 RPM with a 64MB cache. It targets workstations, high-end video and photo editing, low-end servers and performance enthusiasts who need fast mechanical storage.
Check your system before ordering
Verify your motherboard or controller provides a free SATA 6.0Gb/s port and that your case accepts a 3.5-inch drive up to 5.78 inches long and 1 inch high. This is a bare drive without cables or brackets, so ensure you have the necessary SATA data and power connections available.
Thermals noise and power in normal use
The drive features IcePack mounting frame technology designed for ultra-cool operation during sustained workloads. NoTouch ramp load technology and Rotary Acceleration Feed Forward help reduce mechanical noise and vibration while the head is parked and during operation.

In stockQuestions about this item
Does the bare drive include the IcePack mounting frame or do I need to buy it separately?
The product is listed as a bare drive, so only the 3.5" mechanism is supplied; the IcePack frame is not included.
Is the 500 GB 10 000 RPM version the only VelociRaptor capacity offered in this listing?
Yes, this listing covers the single 500 GB model with 10 000 RPM and 64 MB cache.
How does the 10 000 RPM speed translate to real-world access time?
Average latency is specified at 6 Gb/s, reflecting the drive's high rotational speed for quick data retrieval.
