WD Scorpio®Blue™
Mobile Hard Drives
With available SATA or PATA interfaces, WD Scorpio Blue
drives offer high-performance, low power consumption, and
cool operation, perfect for notebooks and other portable
devices. Pick the drive that suits your needs with the
confidence in knowing that all WD Scorpio Blue drives are
built to the highest standards of quality and reliability.

CAPACITIES
80 GB to 1 TB
Massive capacity
Storage capacity for 2.5-inch form
factor drives has arrived at a realm
once thought to be impossible – up
to 1 TB for mobile storage.*
Whether they are in an external
drive or a notebook computer,
WD Scorpio Blue drives continue to
offer the highest capacity for space-
hungry operating systems with
plenty of room left over for photos,
music, and video.
* The WD10TPVT model is 12.5 mm high and may not be
compatible with all notebook systems. Consult system
specifications for maximum allowable drive height before
attempting to install.
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.
Fast and efficient
Ultra-fast 3 Gb/s SATA interface
speed yields performance fit for
demanding mobile applications.
Tested for compatibility
We perform tests on hundreds of
systems and a multitude of
platforms in our FIT Lab™ and
Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our
customers confidence that our
drives will work in their systems.
Advanced Format
Technology
Technology being adopted by WD
and other drive manufacturers to
increase media format efficiencies,
thus enabling larger drive
capacities. (PVT models only)
