"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.

Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

WD Scorpio Blue
Mobile Hard Drive

WD Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch SATA and PATA hard drives offer solid-performance, ultra-quiet operation and low-power use for portable digital devices of all kinds. Pick the drive that suits your needs with the confidence in knowing that all WD Scorpio Blue drives are built to the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Massive capacity
Storage capacity for 2.5-inch form factor drives with standard 9.5 mm height has arrived at a realm once thought to be impossible - up to 1 TB* - giving you all the capacity you need to keep your photos, music and files right there on your notebook.

* The WD10TPVT model is 12.5 mm high and may not be compatible with all notebook systems. Consult system specifications for maximum allowable drive height before attempting to install.

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

Ultra cool and quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive technology delivers one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.

Designed for various applications
WD Scorpio Blue has a portfolio of drives to satisfy all your portable computing needs. These drives are available in multiple z-heights including the 9.5 mm industry standard, 7 mm for use in thin notebooks and compatible with mainstream systems, and 12.5 mm primarily for external enclosures.

Reliable
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 nonoperational shock tolerance.

Rugged
WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.

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.

Advanced Format (AF)
Technology adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers to increase media format efficiencies, thus enabling larger drive capacities. (PVT models only)
