Product 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, 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. |
