April 22, 200917 yr Author comment_226804 Is this: Amazon.com: Western Digital VelociRaptor 300 GB Bulk/OEM Hard Drive 2.5 Inch, 16 MB Cache, 10,000 RPM SATA II WD3000HLFS: Electronics ...a good deal? Or is it pretty commonly available for ~US$230, and I can get it for that later? Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226812 The sides are heatsink, which are supposed to fit into a standard 3.5" drive sled. Report

April 22, 200917 yr comment_226818 Finally got my WOOT batteries, despite what the packaging says both are completely discharged so I'll be curious to see how they last. Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226819 About the harddrive: I believe I got that price 5 months ago, so no. It would've been $200 after rebate, but I didn't do that. Unless there's a couple different 300gb Velociraptors? Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226820 Head-Direct.com | YUIN I've actually heard these. Pretty basic iems doing nothing majorly wrong and nothing really right. They're not the greatest, but for this price, these are a real deal for gym use or other places where sq isn't that important. Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226823 I see... I assumed that taking the drive off the sinks could make it fit into a laptop. A 10000rpm HDD would improve a lot any laptop performance. Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226826 Finally got my WOOT batteries, despite what the packaging says both are completely discharged so I'll be curious to see how they last. I am not sure "Ready to use" means charged up but the instructions say to charge them the first time for 8 hours before use. I am finally charging one up today and it seems to be working, according to the little blinky lights. Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226830 I see... I assumed that taking the drive off the sinks could make it fit into a laptop. A 10000rpm HDD would improve a lot any laptop performance. I haven't looked into this drive for a long while, so memory is fuzzy, but I believe WD also came out with a server-grade Velociraptor that doesn't have the heatsink edges. I can only assume it was the proper 2.5" length, but I truthfully don't really remember. Report
April 22, 200917 yr Author comment_226841 Yeah, there's three of them, IIRC: there's the one that I and A.--- B.--- linked to, there's the more sleddy style that shows up in the first page of image search, and then there's the one without the sled at all (looks like a normal hard drive). So yeah, you kind of need to be paying attention to what you're buying, but I think the price on all three are similar. So yeah, I think I'll wait. Even if it doesn't come down below US$230 again any time soon, I just shouldn't be spending the US$200+ right now. Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226868 it seems to be working, according to the little blinky lights. Mine is happily blinking as well and is on the 4th bar. Report
April 22, 200917 yr comment_226870 Mine is happily blinking as well and is on the 4th bar. I've charged mine a couple times already. Works great for me, just need to raz them about the wierd-ass power connector on my Chinese DAP and see if they'll make good on providing "any" connector ") Report
