The Western Digital Scorpio range of laptop hard drives is a reliable choice for any type of consumer; whether you are upgrading an ageing SATA based laptop, or adding more storage to a relatively new laptop - this 250GB laptop hard drive is a great choice, at a great price.

Fast and efficient. Ultra-fast 3 Gb/s SATA interface speed yields performance fit for demanding mobile applications.

Low power consumption. State-of-the-art seeking algorithms optimize the way the drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption.

Reliable and rugged. WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's SecurePark parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non-operational shock tolerance.

Ultra cool and 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.

Tested for compatibility. We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

Ideal for: Portable digital devices of all kinds including notebook computers, external storage, and digital media players.
