Western Digital Raptor WD360GD Serial ATA Hard Drive Review
- Thread starter Blane
- Start date
The bizarre thing, if you look at the review - one of the chips is a parallel ATA to SATA converter.
As they say, looks like it was originally designed as conventional ULTRA drive - it could probably have been better still if designed as SATA from the start.
And another point - never mind the capacity, feel the speed - these days, a 36Gb drive seems embarrassingly SMALL

I know!
My first HD was a 340Mb - and it was enough - for Win3.1, and when a lot of coverCd stuff actually ran from CD (at that time, a 2x model)
My second, a 3.8Gb that cost several times what my current 20Gb did.
with the 360 in the name of that drive, my first thought was "Wow! they've got up to 360Gb - what on earth would you fill that with"
Progress! Software expands to fit the space and CPU power available, whilke really not doing much more that you use - I'd say I preferred some of the older software to its current version
