The 500GB WD Scorpio Blue SATA 3Gb/s Hard Drive with Advanced Format Technology delivers superior performance with lower power requirements than other, slower, notebook drives. This lower power consumption yields increased reliability. Advanced Format Technology increases media format efficiencies, thus enabling larger drive capacities. This technology changes the hard drive's sector size allowing the ECC data to be stored more efficiently.

The Scorpio Blue is advanced in other areas as well.WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology make the Scorpio quiet, despite its high spin speed. This drive also features ShockGuard technology, protecting the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks, and DuraStep Ramp, which locks the heads in a secure position away from the disk to provide another layer of protection when the drive is not in use. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available, the WD Scorpio can perform a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors. And the Scorpio's rigid stainless steel top cover withstands more than 5 pounds of pressure - nearly 1.5 times the industry average - without pinching vital internal components.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by 1 reviewer.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ratzkiwatzki Perfect for what I needed. I needed a larger hard drive, and the WD 500GB SATA is perfect. It was relatively inexpensive, was shipped right away and works flawlessly. Very happy with their product and will buy from them again with no hesitation when the time comes. March 15, 2012
