Also it should be "its" in that line not "it's", but that's an error we all make all the time.

What's sort of annoying is that the 360 degree view doesn't allow you to see the connectors for the drive from a head-on position which might help people notice the issue. It looks very similar to a normal SATA hard drive though; does anyone know what the actual difference is between this drive, standard backplane drives, and normal SATA drives?]]>Aug 14th 2008 7:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/Aug 14th 2008 9:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/
Also wd has released a 2.5" version which you could use in servers or laptops assuming they can fit the 15mm drive in.]]>Aug 14th 2008 9:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/Redesign WIN!

I still wonder how this one initially got out the door as an enthusiast/low end enterprise drive without supporting the industry standard interface for a 3.5" drive. ]]>Aug 14th 2008 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/Aug 14th 2008 10:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/Aug 14th 2008 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/wds-velociraptor-i-o-connection-issue-resolved-with-design-upda/Aug 14th 2008 3:39PM
