Product Features
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 - giving you all the capacity you
need to keep your photos, music and
les right there on your notebook.
Low power consumption
State-of-the-art seeking algorithms
optimize the way the drive seeks for
data, which signicantly improves
power consumption.
Ultra cool and quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is golden.
WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive™
technology delivers one of the quietest
2.5-inch hard drives on the market.
Designed for various
applications
WD Scorpio Blue has a portfolio
of drives to satisfy all your portable
computing needs. These drives are
available in multiple z-heights including
the 9.5 mm industry standard, 7 mm for
use in thin notebooks and compatible
with mainstream systems and 12.5 mm
primarily for external enclosures.
Reliable
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.
Rugged
WD’s ShockGuard™technology
protects the drive mechanics and
platter surfaces from shocks.
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 condence
that our drives will work in their systems.
Advanced Format (AF)
Technology adopted by WD and other
drive manufacturers to increase media
format efciencies, thus enabling larger
drive capacities. (PVT models only)
WD Scorpio Blue is part of WD’s complete lineup of mobile hard drives.
WD Scorpio®Black™
