Storage capacity for 2.5-inch form
factor drives with standard 9.5 mm
height has arrived at a realm once
thought to be impossible - up to
1 TB* - giving you all the capacity
you need to keep your photos,
music and files right there on your
notebook.
* The WD10TPVT model is 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.
Low power consumption
State-of-the-art seeking algorithms
optimize the way the drive seeks for
data, which significantly improves
power consumption.
Ultra cool and quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is
golden. WD’s exclusive
WhisperDrive™ technology delivers
one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard
drives on the market.
Designed for various
applications
WD Scorpio Blue has a portfolio of
drives to satisfy all your portable
computing needs. These drives are
available in multiple z-heights
including the 9.5 mm industry
standard, 7 mm for use in thin
notebooks and compatible with
mainstream systems, and 12.5 mm
primarily for external enclosures.
ROTATIONAL SPEED
5200 RPM to 5400 RPM
Reliable
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 nonoperational shock tolerance.
Rugged
WD's ShockGuard™ technology
protects the drive mechanics and
platter surfaces from shocks.
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.
Advanced Format (AF)
Technology adopted by WD and
other drive manufacturers to
increase media format efficiencies,
thus enabling larger drive
capacities. (PVT models only)

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
