Product Features
Massive capacity
Storage capacity for 2.5-inch form factor drives has arrived at a realm once thought to be impossible up to 1 TB for mobile storage.* Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD Scorpio Blue drives continue to offer the highest capacity for spacehungry operating systems with plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.
* 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.

Quiet
In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WDs exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-ofthe-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption. So now silence (and longer battery life) is golden.

Reliable and rugged

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

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 Technology

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

Fast and efficient

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