WD Scorpio Blue
WD Scorpio Blue 5400 RPM 2.5-inch SATA and EIDE hard
drives from Western Digital deliver lightning-fast and ultra-quiet
performance hand-in-hand with low power consumption. In
addition, these hard drives are designed with ruggedness,
reliability, and data-protection features that actively watch over
valuable data. Capacities range from 40 to 320 GB.
• Massive capacity – Whether they are in an external drive or a
notebook computer, 320 GB WD Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch drives
offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating
systems like Windows Vista™, plus plenty of room left over for
photos, music, and video.
• Quiet – In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive
WhisperDrive™combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield
one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These
algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which
significantly improves power consumption. So now silence (and
longer battery life) is golden.
• Reliable and Rugged – WD's ShockGuard™technology protects
the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's
SecurePark™parks the recording heads off the disk surface during
spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the
recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in
improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved
non-operational shock tolerance.
Big Capacity for
Portable Computing.
Ideal for portable digital devices
of all kinds, including notebook
computers, external storage,
and digital media players.
