Thermal Image:

Because the Western Digital VelociRaptor is a 2.5″ drive encompassed in a 3.5″ IcePAK heatsink, it does not overheat very easily. Below is the thermal image provided by Western Digital:

You’ll notice that the drive stays around 50-57 degrees Celsius. This is good for a drive, and should not get too hot, or it could destroy the fragile drive.

  1. Yes Dan(s). You’ll even notice this uses the old IcePak. They are great drives though!

  2. I am suprised about the timing of this review. These drives have been out for quite some time. I have been running a pair of them in RAID 0 for about 6 months with the Win 7 Beta and now the Win 7 RC. The performance and stability is amazing!
