[Tech ARP] Modding A Barracuda 7200.11 Into A VelociRaptor

[news 28]

Dear editor,

 

 

 

We have just posted Modding A Barracuda 7200.11 Into A VelociRaptor.

 

 

 

Quote : That's a really catchy title, isn't it? Who wouldn't want to turn a

"slow" 7,200 RPM hard disk drive into a super-fast 10,000 RPM Western

Digital VelociRaptor? After all, the 300 GB model of the much-vaunted HDD

speed king retails for US$ 199.99, while a 1.5 TB Barracuda 7200.11 only

costs US$ 109.99. Imagine getting the performance of the VelociRaptor with

the capacity and price of the Seagate Barracuda!

 

The guys at TechwareLabs came up with an apparently nifty way to "transform"

the 1.5 TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard disk drive into a VelociRaptor-killer. But

before you go rushing out to grab yourself a 1.5 TB Barracuda 7200.11 hard

disk drive, please note that their mod basically involves crippling the

Barracuda...
