Customer Review: Great hard drive!
2.5-inch EIDE Hard Drives 100 GB, 100 MB/s, 8 MB Cache, 5400 RPM
From experience Western Digital has been a great and reliable and I like the features that the WD Scorpio has:
Fast and efficient - Spins at 5400 RPM for fast performance but has power specs similar to slower 4200 RPM drives. Low power consumption yields increased reliability.
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.
It was easy to install and replaced an 40GB which had replaced another 40GB drive that had failed, both where non-western digital hard drive. And the WD has been great. Buy Here
