Western Digital Scorpio Blue 1TB 2.5 inch Notebook Hard Drive

Low power consumption

State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features ensure low power consumption and long battery life.

Quiet

In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology yields one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.

Features:

SATA 3 Gb/s interface - The industry standard and most common interface, and backwards and forwards compatible with all computers with SATA 1.5 Gb/s, 3 Gb/s or SATA 6 Gb/s ports.

NoTouch ramp load technology - The recording head never touches the disk media ensuring significantly less wear to the recording head and media as well as better drive protection in transit.

Rugged - WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.

Tested for compatibility - WD perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in their FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give you the confidence that their drives will work in your system.

Advanced Format (AF) - Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers to continue growing hard drive capacities. New drives featuring AF are optimized for operation with Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Vista and Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, and later. For older operating systems such as Windows XP, users must run the free WD Align software utility to achieve the full performance of the drive.

Upgrading your drive is easy - WD Acronis TrueImage, available as a free download on the WD Support site, enables you to copy all your data to a new drive so you don't have to reinstall your operating system to get all the benefits of a new drive.

Note: This is a bare drive and does not include any cables or mounting hardware. If you need to copy the data from your old drive to this new one, then our selection of data transfer kits are a snap to use. You can also mount this drive in a standard 3.5 inch desktop drive bay using one of our selection of 2.5-inch to 3.5-inch drive mounting and conversion kits.

The WD advantage - WD put their products through extensive Functional Integrity Testing (F.I.T.) prior to any product launch. On average, each new product goes through 600,000 hours of testing.
