Nice upgrade
- Pros: Large drive for a Laptop. Good upgrade from 60GB with plenty of room for music, videos, movies, ect.
- Cons: Wish manufactures still made 7200 rpm IDE/ATA drives :(
- Other Thoughts: Western digital is my new fav for hard disks
Lots of storage, horrible performance
- Pros: Lots of storage
- Cons: Worst drive performance since the floppy. Using on an iMac 7 (aluminum Core 2 Duo, 4GB Ram, 2.4 GHz), as an auxiliary drive upgrade from a WD 500GB External Notebook Drive. Finally had to ditch this drive for archive only, and go back to the WD drive for active use.
What he said and.
- Pros: Good drive, huge upgrade to my old winbook.
- Cons: Absolutly none!
- Other Thoughts: Winbook on board wireless finally died (after 6 years) so I put this in a Apricorn drive adapter, worked fine with only the origonal cable, I did pick up a "y" usb cable just in case but have never needed it yet!

Quiet - WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology with SoftSeek algorithms make this the quietest 2.5-inch hard drive, regardless of spin speed.
Reliable - WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's DuraStep Ramp 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 drive can perform a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors.
Rugged - WD 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. |
