WD Scorpio 2.5-inch drives offer high-performance, low power consumption and
cool operation, making them ideal for notebooks and other portable devices.
In addition, you'll get one of the quietest 2.5-inch drives on the market with
real-time data protection technology to help keep your data safe.
Key Features:
Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook
computer, WD’s 250 GB 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.
Fast and efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time, even
the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD
Scorpio 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. 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.
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.
Ideal For:
Portable digital devices of all kinds, including notebook computers, external
storage, digital media players, GPS and navigation systems, and other automotive
and industrial applications.
