OEM Hard Drive With Window

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the making-it-just-to-easy dept.

SJasperson writes "At last, you don't need to mess around with Dremel tools and Lexan (and destroy your valuable data) to get a clear window in your hard drive. Western Digital has released the Raptor X 150GB SATA hard drive. 10,000 RPM, 4.6ms seek time, 16MB buffer, and, yes, a clear window so you can see what's going on inside. Made out of a special polycarbonate lens with an ESD-dissipative coating, the lens is designed to let case modders and their groupies see the drive platters and heads without sacrificing data integrity."

    Troubleshooting chart

    1) Head not moving - drive dead.
    2) Head moving too much - not enough memory.
    3) Head lying at bottom of case - drive broken.

    Isn't it funny that my case has windows, now my hard drives will have windows, but not contained within either is Windows®?
