This category lists all Western Digital drives that are part of the Western Digital Caviar family Viking. Viking succeeds the previous Odyssey family, and is a 10,000 RPM drive, now in the 2.5" form factor. It was succeeded by the Aztec PL platform. Viking is the final Caviar platform, the only 2.5" Caviar platform, and along with Cypress is the only ramp-loading Caviar platform (as every other platform used contact start-stop).
