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."

    What is the deal with putting windows on things? I'm just not buying into this one. What's next? Is Quiznos going to put a window in the bread of my sub so I can see the "meat and cheese performance"? Let's all mod our skulls with plexiglass 4 x 4 inch plexiglass windows! That way... HEY YOU! Put the dremel tool down! And the neon tube too.
