Reliable and Rugged - WD's ShockGuard™ technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. So now silence (and longer battery life) is golden. These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption. WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive™ combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. Quiet - In a notebook drive, silence is golden.

Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD’s 250 GB 2.5-inch drives offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista™, plus plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.įast and efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD Scorpio drives. Read on to see how well the Scorpio WD2500BEVS performs compared to a 100GB 5400RPM 2.5" hard drive and a 500GB 7200RPM 3.5" drive.īuffer To Host (Serial ATA): 1.5 Gb/s (Max) Plus, the benchmarks might just surprise you about how well a 5400RPM drive can perform. At 5400RPM, it may not be the mobile speed king, but this 2.5" SATA hard drive offers a plethora of nice features, like an 8MB cache and WD's WhisperDrive and ShockGuard technology. Today, we have one of the largest laptop hard drives on the market in our labs, the 250GB Western Digital Scorpio WD2500BEVS. Thankfully, though, if performance is your main concern, you can get a 7200RPM laptop hard drive now if you chose to do so. At least one manufacturer will have a 320GB laptop hard drive available soon, but that still doesn't get us anywhere near 1TB in our laptops. While desktop hard drives hit 1TB (1,000GB) a while ago, laptop hard drives recently reached 250GB. Just like desktop hard drives, though, laptop hard drives have gotten quite a bit bigger and faster over the last couple years. In contrast, most desktops are currently sold with 7200RPM hard drives with capacities of up to 1TB. In case you aren't aware, most laptops are sold with 5400RPM hard drives that range from 60GB to 100GB. Please, get this right, let's kill this myth that WD spawned.Most of you probably already know that 2.5" notebook hard drives typically aren't as big or fast as hard drives found in desktop machines. Can't say if this is the only one or Hitachi have introduced more such drives.
So far only selected Hitachi drives can change RPM during operation - see Hitachi CinemaStar 5K1000. Of course, just like any modern HDD, WD Green can stop alltogether and then spin up. WD itself has never published official speeds (at least so far) but only claimed the drive are somehow optimized. There are plenty of reviews (see SCPR, storagereview.) that have proven this claim to be UNTRUE. From the beginning of the Green series, masses have believed that these drives can actually change the speed. This has been a major misunderstanding caused by marketing speak that proves difficult to decipher. IntelliSeek is not about changing speed but about changing seek speed. They are not capable of spinning down or up. It varies from model to model, some are 5400, some are 5900, but for any given drive the speed is constant. WD Greens DO NOT, repeat DO NOT, change RPM on the go.
