It would be nice if that's true, 4 more days till we know for sure. I know that many have been waiting for the arrival of 10K IDE drives. Lets hope the prices won't be comparable to 10K SCSI drives. 10K IDE will certainly improve the access times compared to 7.200 rpm drives.Western Digital to Launch 10 000rpm Desktop HDD on the 11th of February!
Posted 2/05/03 at 2:02 pm by Anton
Western Digital company was the first to unveil a 7200rpm desktop HDD. WD was the first to offer 8MB buffer on desktop intended hard disk drives. Apparently, WD will be the first company to produce the first ever 10 000rpm HDD for desktop computers on the 11th of February this year. With the announcement next Tuesday WD will strengthen its market positions by continuing to bring technologies previously found in servers destined products to consumers data storage market.
The new line of WD’s HDDs will offer 8MB buffer, Serial ATA-150 interface and the glamour 10 000rpm fluid dynamic bearing motors! According to this Japanese web-site, WD plans to offer 5 year limited warranty on the HDD with MTBF of 1.2 million hours. I wonder how much one such baby is going to cost…
The new HDDs are going to offer significant performance improvements over the present generations of hard disk drives and WD itself is going to earn plenty selling such hi-tech devices to hardware enthusiasts.
10K IDE drives just around the corner ?

As I understand it the big problem is heat. 10K drives get HOT. Heck some modern 7200 rpm drives get pretty damn hot.
We'll probably be seeing the addition of a drive bay cooling fan to most cases soon (some of the better cases have had them for a long time).
