The editors liked

  • 320GB is presently the highest capacity for 2.5" hard drive
  • Strong performance
  • Very cool
  • Very quiet
  • Never run out of space on your notebook again!

The editors didn't like

  • A 7200RPM model would be interesting
  • Three year warranty is OK
  • But five years would obviously be better
  • SSDs and 7
  • 200rpm drives outrun it.

  • 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...

  • Fast, silent, large capacity, runs cool
  • Expensive
  • 500GB laptop hard drives have become common since the past few months, but the new WD5000BEVT from Western Digital is unique, as it crams all that space on just two platters. Featuring just two platters of 250GB each, this drive boasts of a lower power...

  • Fast, silent, huge capacity

  • Globalement très bien accueilli à sa sortie, on ne peut que confirmer les bonnes performances du Scorpio Blue 500Go. Avec des débits élevés pour un 2,5 pouces 5400 tours, et une grande capacité il saura combler ceux qui voudr...

  • Taux de transfert et temps d’accès, silencieux, faible consommation, chauffe peu, capacité.
  • Rien à signaler.
  • Avec une capacité de 500 Go, le Scorpio Blue est un des plus gros disques durs disponibles au format 2 ½ pouces. Ses performances brutes sont de très bon niveau avec un temps d’accès plus que simplement acceptable et de très bons taux de transfert...

  • Abbiamo dato uno sguardo a sette dischi per notebook da 500 GB. Cinque sono dischi da 5400 RPM, ma altri due presentano piccole differenze. Abbiamo provato il Samsung HM500LI, perché il nuovo HDM500JI non è giunto in tempo per la prova. Crediamo...

  • Ci aspettiamo sempre che i nuovi prodotti migliorino i loro predecessori, e questa volta siamo stati accontentati. Se confrontiamo il nuovo WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB con il predecessore da 320 GB, il nuovo prodotto risulta significativamente più veloce...
