Western Digital Scorpio Blue Notebook Hard Drive

With available SATA or PATA 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.

Features

Massive capacity.

WD Scorpio Blue hard drives offer the highest capacity for space-hungry operating systems with plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.

Low power consumption.

State-of-the-art seeking algorithms optimize the way the drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption.

Ultra cool and quiet.

In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology yields one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. Features

Up to 1 TB for mobile storage.

Storage capacity for 2.5-inch form factor drives has arrived at a realm once thought to be impossible - up to 1 TB.

Fast and efficient.

Ultra-fast 3 Gb/s SATA interface speed yields performance fit for demanding mobile applications.

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.

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.

Available in PATA or SATA.

Although most systems use hard drives with a SATA interface, some unique or legacy systems require drives with a PATA interface.

Ideal for:

Portable digital devices of all kinds including notebook computers, external storage, and digital media players.

Advanced Format Technology (AF).

Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers as one of multiple ways to continue growing hard drive capacities. AF is a more efficient media format that enables increased areal densities. (PVT models only)
