PCSTATS has already seen what the Western Digital Raptor brings to the table, and now we'll take one of the largest hard drives on the market for a spin.

The NetCenter product is well designed and built with a solid plastic chassis although weighing in at 1.4kg it's by no means easily portable. Designed to look good on your desk the NetCenter comes with a couple of plastic clip-on feet allowing it to stand on its side. It should be mounted in this position as all ventilation is provided by grilles at the side making for silent running. A Fast Ethernet port is located at the rear and partnered by a couple of USB 2.0 ports. The latter adds some diversity to the NetCenter as you can connect other external storage devices or USB printers and share them all over the network...

Western Digital's Caviar SE16 is the latest hard drive to jump on the 300MB/s bandwagon, and fortunately, this Caviar is sporting more than just support for a faster Serial ATA interface. The drive also features a beefy 16MB cache and a stealthy all-black aesthetic that's unlike any other hard drive on the market. Curiously, though, Western Digital has elected not to support Native Command Queuing (NCQ) on its latest high-performance desktop drive. Will that decision hurt the new Caviar's chances against the latest NCQ-equipped Serial ATA drives from Hitachi, Maxtor, and Seagate? Let's find out...

The WD3200 is perhaps one of the fastest PATA drives I have ever used, and with the obvious ample capacity suitable for almost any need, it really has no drawback. For anyone looking at a high end PATA solution which won't disappoint in any regard, the WD3200 is ideal - it's big, and it's fast, not to mention reasonably quiet and cool. If you're prepared to spend some $US 0.59 or so per GB, the Western Digital WD3200 is as good a choice as any.

The SATA interface obviously has a fine future for business applications. As this pair of WD740 10,000RPM drives has showed, you can now bring enterprise level hard disk performance down to the average desktop or workstation without spending hundreds on a SCSI controller. SATA II adoption is just around the corner, so things are only going to get better.
