High capacity, good overall performance, practically silent operation
Could take a while to fill up The Final Word As a replacement drive for a Serial ATA-based notebook, the Scorpio is ideal. It runs cool and silently, and its performance was surprisingly good in our tests.

Abstract: The Western Digital 320GB Scorpio sells online for around AU$285, which is not quite as good value in the dollar per Gigabyte stakes as the 250GB version (AU$205) it’s certainly not far off (89c per GB vs. 82c per GB) so there’s very little of...
Abstract: WD is aggressively exploring higher capacities. The 640GB Scorpio Blue provides ample capacity and sweet performance for upper-mainstream notebooks and portable storage devices. The two announced 750GB and 1,000GB 2.5” drives won’t fit into most notebook designs due to their 12.5mm height, but they should still raise the bar for compact, high-capacity storage...
Abstract: Verdict: The 640GB Scorpio Blue is ideal if you want lots of storage in your laptop, but 500GB drives are better value. Western Digital's latest 2.5in internal SATA hard disk has a huge capacity of 640GB. Although 750GB and 1TB models are available,...

Abstract: The Scorpio Blue range of laptop hard disks has a focus on capacity, leaving the Scorpio Black to cater for those who need high performance, but this 500GB model provides unbeatable capacity and performance. This is because the data is packed more d...
Abstract: The Scorpio Blue isnt the first 2½in 500GB laptop hard disk weve seen; that was Hitachis Travelstar 5K500 (Whats New, Shopper 245). The Travelstars 12.5mm height was too big for most laptops drive bays, but the 9.5mm Scorpio will fit in any la...
Abstract: Western Digitals Scorpio 320GB is one of the first SATA/300 laptop hard disks weve seen. Theoretically, it could be twice as fast as its SATA/150 predecessors, but 150MB/s is more than fast enough for todays disks, so the 300MB/s limit of the SAT...
The Western Digital Scorpio isnt the fastest drive on the market by any means, but itll complement a high-end, or even mid-range notebook nicely. £149 is a pretty competitive price for such a small device, and makes it an enticing option for noteboo...
