The Western Digital WD1200BEVS Scorpio series 120GB hard drive offers an outstanding combination of speed and low power consumption. Using a highly efficient motor that spins at 5400RPM while only using as much power as slower 4200RPM drives, it gives you faster seek times and longer batter life.

Reliability is enhanced by WD's ShockGuard™ technology that protects the moving parts of the drive surfaces from shocks and WD's DuraStep Ramp™ locks the heads in a secure position away from the disk to provide additional protection when the drive is not in use. These features combined with the rigid stainless steel top that can withstand 1.5 times the industry average make this one of the most durable drives in the industry.

The exclusive WhisperDrive with SoftSeek make this the quietest 2.5" drive, regardless of spin speed.

xBox360 hard drive

Reviewed By: on 6/12/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This is the drive you need for a DIY upgrade of your 20gb xBox360 drive. Installed flawlessly, seems to be working fine - played multiple games for several hours and re-installed all my Live with no problems

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: the DIY upgrade is NOT for the faint of heart - I'm not saying the $100 premium M$ charges for the drive in it's case is worth it, but you had better know what you're doing before attempting this. I eventually gave up on trying to transfer my data and just recovered my gamertag and re-downloaded everything else...

Works great for xbox 360 mod

Reviewed By: on 2/14/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Works great with xbox 360 mod to replace M$ over priced 120 gig hard drives. Process of getting it to work was smooth sailing if you understand the process and have decent PC skills.

Cons: Not really a con but had an issue with flashing using my pc with the following motherboard:ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE. But was able to get it to work using a friends PC which unfortunately I do not have the specs on. If your sata controller doesnt work simply try using a friends pc.

Other Thoughts: M$ BOOOOOOOOO

Reviewed By: on 8/6/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Just purchased this drive to upgrade the drive in my XBOX 360, went pretty smooth ended up having to use my laptop to flash the drive because the program wouldn't see it on my desktop. Other than that very easy wish I had done this a long time ago.

Cons: Nothing
