Introduction
With available SATA or EIDE 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.
To
make drive selection simple, we've gathered all
our popular 5400 RPM WD Scorpio drives under one
umbrella we call WD Scorpio Blue. Built to Western
Digital's awarding winning quality standards, these
drives are available in a full range of performance
features.
Features
Massive
capacity - Whether they are in an external drive
or a notebook computer, 500 GB WD Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch
drives offer the most available capacity for space-hungry
operating systems like Windows Vista®, with
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.
Fast
and efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12
ms access time and up to 3 Gb/s SATA interface speed,
even the most demanding customer will appreciate
the performance achieved by WD Scorpio Blue drives.
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.
