Detailed item info
| Product Description |
The
Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250 GB hard drive is a laptop hard drive
that offers fast transfer speeds of 10 MB/s to 25 MB/s in a very quiet
package. Western Digital's WhisperDrive reduces disk noise in this
2.5-inch laptop hard drive and it also has ShockGuard technology that
minimizes risk to data from bumps or jolts. It's important for notebook
users that battery life is good, and there are power management programs
and fast seeking architecture that decreases energy usage in the
Western Digital Scorpio Blue. Since it is lightweight at a scant 1 lb,
this 2.5-inch laptop hard drive can also be used with external
enclosures for an external storage solution. The PATA architecture on
this Western Digital hard drive ensures top speeds for data, even on
older laptops, which is helped by the 5,400 RPM platter speeds. The
faster they move, the faster the Western Digital hard drive can write
and rewrite data. Users looking to update their storage, or make their
own external hard drive will want to take a good look at the Western
Digital Scorpio Blue.

| Product Features |
- Massive capacity
Whether
they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD Scorpio Blue
SATA drives are available in large capacities and offer the most
available capacity for space-hungry operating systems, like Window
Vista, with plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video. - Fast and efficient
With
5400 RPM spin speed and 12ms access time and up to 3Gb/s SATA interface
speed, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance
achieved by WD Scorpio Blue drives. - 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. - 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.
