The Western Digital WD1200UE 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.
Ultra ATA 100 InterfaceThe Ultra ATA 100 interface provides up to 100 MB/s throughput for fast data transfer.
WD WhisperDrive and SoftSeek TechnologyWhisperDrive technology minimizes noise to virtually below the threshold of human hearing. To cut seek noise, SoftSeek technology streamlines read/write seeking algorithms resulting in more efficient operation.
WD ShockGuard TechnologyShockGuard technology instantaneously protects the hard drive against damage from bumps and vibrations during operation. This technology enables WD Digital Scorpio drives to achieve industry-leading shock specifications.
Pros: This is a great upgrade to any laptop. Can't beat the price that Newegg offers and the drive is very reliable. I used this drive to upgrade my iBook G4 1.2GHz, 1.2GB Ram, 120GB HDD.
Cons: None
Overall Review: This was a perfect fit for my iBook G4. Be careful if you want to upgrade your iBook yourself. It's not easy taking the laptop apart with about 40 tiny screws to put back. Totally worth the time and money though. Went from a 30GB to 120GB! Thanks Newegg!
