The Western Digital 1TB Scorpio Blue SATA 2.5" Hard Drive features huge storage, quiet operation, and low power consumption. With a 1TB storage capacity, SATA interface and transfer speeds up to 3 Gb/s, it's ideal for demanding mobile applications that require high performance.
The Scorpio Blue utilizes Advanced Format Technology so that it can handle data efficiently while still maintaining the large 1TB storage capacity. This drive also benefits from ShockGuard technology that protects the drive mechanics from shocks. It uses SecurePark, which prevents the recording heads from resting on the disk during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This results in a more reliable drive due to the limited head wear. The Scorpio Blue is also tested rigorously to ensure compatibility with most systems.
