Product Description
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.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.

Great Drive
operating system:
Mac OSXJust replaced my original 80Gb Macbook drive with one of these. The Macbook seems faster and quieter than with the old drive. Now I do not have to use an external drive for my photos. And the drive is only half full at the moment.
Used SuperDuper to copy data between drives.
Playstation3 compatible

Great HDD
operating system:
Not ApplicablePurchased this last wewk and fitted it in to my PS3 on Sunday. Fits like a glove and now I have 298gb of storage on there. (You always lose 10% of the capacity on install). The price seems to have shot up in the last week, however good for storage.
PS3
operating system:
OtherAfter months of researching and reading reviews on the world wide web about hard drives for the PS3. Western Digital 320GB came out on top, in capacity size and price over Seagate. The best price was ebuyer (with it's free delivery).
After swapping my PS3 Seagate 40GB hard drives for the Western Digital 32OGB, (which was so easy to do and took around 15 minutes), i am extremely happy. Also i am so impressed in how quite and smooth this Western Digital runs.
So i would recommend this drive to anyone who is interested in upgrading their PS3 hard drive. Either for more space for your games and media content, or if you are like me getting ready for Sony PlayTV.
Thank you ebuyer and all those reviewers out there.
Perfect!!!
