Largest capacity hard drive arrives

Western Digital has brought to the Middle East the industry’s largest capacity hard drive — its WD Caviar 200GB 7,200 RPM product. This milestone marks the fourth consecutive first-to-market 7,200 RPM hard drive delivered by Western Digital, which was the world’s first hard drive manufacturer to deliver 7,200 RPM hard drives in 80, 100 and 120GB capacities. Richard E. Rutledge, vice president of marketing for Western Digital, commented: “Continued regional demand for the exceptional performance of 7,200 RPM hard drives at the highest capacities makes these hard drives an ideal choice for computing needs that range from top-of-the-line desktops and work stations to high-end IDE applications such as entry-level enterprise servers.”
