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. A slight increase in
overall drive height (750 GB and
1 TB only) has driven storage
capacity for 2.5-inch form factor
drives upwards to a realm once
thought to be impossible.*
* 750 GB and 1 TB models are 12.5 mm high and may not be
compatible with all notebook systems. Consult system
specifications for maximum allowable drive height before
attempting to install.
Quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is
golden. WD’s exclusive
WhisperDrive™ combines state-ofthe-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.
Fast and efficient
Ultra-fast 3 Gb/s SATA interface
speed yields performance fit for
demanding mobile applications.
CAPACITIES
80 GB to 1 TB
Note: Not all products may
be available in all regions of
the world.
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 our
customers confidence that our
drives will work in their systems.

As used for storage capacity, one megabyte (MB) = one million bytes, one gigabyte (GB) = one billion bytes, and one terabyte (TB) = one trillion bytes. Total accessible capacity varies depending on operating environment. As used for buffer or cache, one megabyte (MB) = 1,048,576 bytes.
As used for transfer rate or interface, megabyte per second (MB/s) = one million bytes per second, and gigabit per second (Gb/s) = one billion bits per second. Effective maximum SATA 3 Gb/s transfer rate calculated according to the Serial ATA specification published by the SATA-IO
organization as of the date of this specification sheet. Visit www.sata-io.org for details.
