Designed with top-of-the-line notebook computers in mind, this high
performance drive delivers the capacity and speed needed to supercharge a
notebook PC without compromising battery life or quiet acoustics. Features
like these also make this drive an outstanding option for compact desktops,
external hard drives, gaming systems, and blade servers.
Product 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.
Reliable and rugged - WD's ShockGuard™ technology protects the drive mechanics
and platter surfaces from shocks during shipping and handling and in daily operation.
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.
Free-fall sensor - As an added layer of protection, if the drive (or the system it's in) is
dropped while in use, WD's free-fall sensor detects that the drive is falling and, in less
than 200 milliseconds, parks the head to help prevent damage and data loss.
Available on WDxxxxBJKT models only.
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 WD customers
confidence that our drives will work in their systems.
WD Scorpio Black is part of WD's complete lineup of mobile hard drives.
