Product Description
Key Features Desktop-class performance for notebook computers - With 7200 RPM spin speed, 16 MB cache, and capacities up to 320 GB, these drives enable you to have the best of both worlds: the capacity and performance of a desktop PC with the convenience and portability of a notebook.
Massive capacity - WD's 320 GB 2.5-inch drives offer huge capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista™, with plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.
Low power consumption - With technologies like IntelliSeek™, which calculates optimum seek speeds to lower power consumption and SecurePark, which reduces power by parking the heads during low power idle mode, this drive delivers 5400 RPM-equivalent power consumption in a 7200 RPM drive.
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.

Stunning
Just used Acronis True Image to replace the Hitachi 160Gb Sata in a new Lenovo 3000 N200 with this 320Gb WD Scorpio.
Surprisingly smooth and easy operation. Acronis is brilliant - you just pop the new drive in an external caddy (I used the Black Nexons 2.5" USB 2.0 External Caddy/Enclosure For 2.5" SATA Hard Drive - a few quid from Amazon). Then you plug it into the USB on your laptop and choose CLONE option in Acronis. It shuts everything down and copies the lot across.
I downloaded the laptop manual to find out where the hard drive was and how to swap it - it turned out to be incredibly simple to do - I was sh*&*ng myself for nothing! That's all there is to is. The new drive just started up a treat in Vista.
The difference the Scorpio has made to the laptop performance is mind blowing - it seems to be twice as fast - it has transformed the laptop. It is also extremely quiet.
I was also reassured by the 5yr guarantee - and I have quite a few WD drives with which I have never had any probs.
WD 320 scorpio black
operating system:Windows VistaVery good drive. Whisper quiet and stunningly rapid. Bought to replace the tiny 60gb toshiba that was fitted in my laptop. Easy to fit. No probs at all. Well packaged. And delivered in 2 days despite being on the supersaver.
with the 16mb cache and 7200rpm, i notice a good improvment on system performance. Running vista and now with a lot more space.
At this price too, dont think, just buy it.
Beware - not what it says on the tin!!
Ebuyer's service is excellent and their prices are very good but it is disappointing to see a slightly misleading spec sheet (although I'm sure it's not intentionally so).
This model does not have the shock protection which would carry the product code ending with BJKT. This is the non protected model with product code ending with BEKT.
Just so you know!!
Fast Quiet and Great Warranty
operating system:Windows XPJust received in and Cloned drive using Acronis True Image (Very Easy).
Very noticable performance improvement over previous 5400 laptop drive.
Can't hear it.
Great value and 5 year warranty.
Very cheap way to increase capacity and performance
100% recommendation
