Title: Western SATA-II & 16 MB cache
Description: Western Digital has released during the E3 a new Serial ATA hard drive range, the WD Caviar SE16. These SATA-II discs provide an interface transfer rate of 300 MB/s and feature 16 MB of cache. For the time being only a 250 GB capacity disc is announced, the WD2500KS. Platter density is unchanged compared to the previous desktop hard drive generation. This disc includes 3 platters of two sides with “only” 83.3 GB per platter. Access time is also identical, 8.9 ms.

Additionally to the interfaced and the cache size, the other improvements is a strong noise level reduction from 34, 36 and 35 dBA in rotation / access / low noise access to 28, 33 and 29 dBA (difference between a WD2500JD and a WD2500KS). In fact these noise level characteristics are identical to another Serial ATA 250 Go drive but from the WD Caviar Raid Edition (WD2500SD) range.
