I Think they gave me a Raptor X

[Gabb]

I originally had ordered a WD Raptor 150 gig 16 mb 10k rpm, but the raptor I got had a window which let me see the actual drive and wheel. http://www.dvhardware.net/news/wd_raptor_x.jpg

Much like this picture, so I'm wondering, is this a Raptor X instead? Any other ways I can check? Does the regular 150 gig model even have a window of any sorts? ( was thinking maybe it did but it was a smaller window )

still yet to recieve my ram and GTX, although ill let u guys know how that goes when I put it together

Yes, that's a raptor X, the only drive I think that has a window.

Newegg.com - Western Digital Raptor X WD1500AHFD 150GB 10,000 RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM

lucky, i bet you wont return it

I think it's dumb, but of course this is just an opinion and my current setup doesn't have a side window. I can understand where WD is coming from though, since everyone is trying to make their computer unique these days, people are going to buy a harddrive they can see working.

watching those things work is kind of cool actually...it's amazing how fast it is.

they are cool but personally I'm more for performance first and looks second. I don't need a flashy case to show off with, that stuff comes after I've bought all og my components and if I have money left for it.

I feel the same way, but the Raptor X is just like a regular 150 gig WDR HD except that its more costly cause of the "window" ( used to be like 100 dollars more but now not on newegg due to the new deal ) so ill take it
