Re: Headlines - Western Digital shrinks VelociRaptors for enterprise duty
Pretty much the first thing SPCR did with their velociraptor was to take that stupid heat sink off. With even moderate airflow it isn't required and when off it is apparently one of the quietest drives avaliable today, but quite the opposite with it on.

Here are the two drives on their website- as you can see there are a 300 and 150 GB version for the 2.5" enterprise drive.
