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.

Product Features

Massive capacity — Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer,

320 GB WD Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch drives offer the most available capacity for

space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista™, plus 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.

WD Scorpio Blue is part of WD's complete lineup of mobile hard drives.
