WD has a new version of the Raptor driver: the Velociraptor.

Saw that yesterday. Looks cool. 2.5-inch in a 3.5-inch form factor. Less distance for the read/write heads to travel.
Were you able to glean any hard seek/access stats? |

Rad, performance specifications on the drive can be found here. The average seek time is 4.2 ms (read) and 4.7 ms (write).

As compared to the “old” Raptor (e.g., model WD1500AD), the new Velociraptor appears to be only about 9% faster, as judged by average seek time (4.2 versus 4.6 ms for read, and 4.7 versus 5.2 ms for write).
