WD 250GB 2.5" Hard Drive - SATAII 5400rpm Product Description
Key Features
- Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD Scorpio Blue SATA drives are available in capacities up to 500 GB and offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems, like Window 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 and 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.
- PS3 Compatible - You can replace or upgrade your PS3 Hard Drive with this.

WD drives by far the most reliable
I work as an Apple Service Technician and these western digital drives have proven in my time to have the lowest failure rate.
We only put WD's in our customers machines.
To the guy complaining about his drive failing - OK, 9 months is a little short lived. But you only have yourself to blame for not backing up!
The most common reason for laptop HDDs breaking is users moving their laptops too forcefully during read/write cycles.
Any of the WD blue drives get 5 stars, and thats from a technician! buy now!
Great for use in the Xbox 360
operating system:Windows 7I purchased this drive in October knowing that it could be used to upgrade my Xbox 360's 20gb drive to 250gb.
After following the tutorial here: http://digiex.net/computing-section/guides-tutorials/consoles/3152-xbox-360-how-hack-250gb-sata-drive-work-360-a.html i had the drive working perfectly with my Xbox 360 in under 30 minutes.
Great drive, great price.

Perfect for Xbox 360
operating system:Windows 7Ordered this when I accidentally bricked my Official 120gb hdd (manually updating games). As usual Ebuyers delivery is spot on. The drive is very easy to flash to use with the 360. (There are plenty of guides out there; elitemodscene, se7ensins, etc)
Highly recommended!
