WD Raptor X Clear Cover hard drive
Western Digital Corp. today introduced the world's only manufacturer-produced clear-top hard drive, WD Raptor X. The unique 10,000 RPM Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives feature 150 GB capacity, 16 MB cache and Native Command Queuing (NCQ) for peak performance. WD Raptor X features a large clear lens embedded in the top through which the read and write action of the drive's head and disk assembly can be viewed while the drive delivers data, audio and video content and games to PC. WD Raptor X 150 GB (model WD1500AHFD) hard drives are expected to be shipping in volume this quarter on the company's online store. Estimated retail pricing for WD Raptor X is $349.99 USD. I must say that new Raptor X hard drive is awesome, just look at the pictures here. There's even video and 3D view.

I've never cared for the incredible gayness of windows and lights in computers, especially cause there's nothing interesting to look at. But with this, the only moving component of a computer (besides fans), a window might be cool. The video on WD site of the windowed one is pretty cool. The spindle ablur, the needle jumping to and fro. I would cut and paste files just to watch that.
want some really good head action? install windows.
