"Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250GB 5400RPM 8MB 2.5"" SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive"

"Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250GB 5400RPM 8MB 2.5"" SATA 3.0Gb/s Notebook Hard Drive Compatible Devices Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD Scorpio Blue SATA drives continue to offer the highest capacity for space-hungry operating systems with plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video. 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. This Drive Holds - 106 two-hour DVD-quality movies or - 375 hours of VHS-quality video or - 221 days of around-the-clock MP3 audio or - 93,750 vivid digital photos or - 533 action-packed games! With available SATA interfaces, WD Scorpio Blue drives offer high-performance, low power consumption, and cool operation, perfect for notebooks and other portable devices. Pick the drive that suits your needs with the confidence in knowing that all WD Scorpio Blue drives are built to the highest standards of quality and reliability. Low power consumption.
