En me promenant sur le net je suis tombé sur cette news

Un lecteur de notre forum est tombé sur cette page  http://www.alternate.de/html/shop/ [...] no=A9BW18& d'un magasin allemand et fut assez étonné de voir qu'une version de 150 Go du célèbre Western Digital Raptor était en vente. Nous avons alors contacté le fabriquant qui vient de nous confirmer qu'une version 150 Go devait effectivement être lancée le 3 janvier prochain.
 
Les caractéristiques de ce Raptor WD1500AD sont très alléchantes puisqu'outre le fait que sa capacité est doublée par rapport à la version actuelle, il offrira non pas 8 Mo de cache mais 16 Mo, disposera d'une interface S-ATA 2 et sera compatible avec la technologie NCQ (Native Command Queing). Tout comme ses prédécesseurs, il tourne à 10.000 tours/minute et est annoncé pour 32 dB/A en idle et 36 dB/A lors des accès disques. Sur le site allemand en question, le prix annoncé est de 319 euros...

Ze bombe !!
