Western Digital Scorpio Blue 500GB

By Gordon Mah Ung

Sometimes it's OK not to take the medal stand in the race to get a product out first. Take the case of Western Digital's new 5,400rpm Scorpio Blue 500GB notebook drive. It's the fourth 500GB mobile drive to hit the market, after Hitachi's Travelstar ...

Never run out of space on your notebook again

SSDs and 7,200rpm drives outrun it

Despite being a 2.5in device that can fit into a notebook, the Western Digital Scorpio Blue is reasonably quick and still packs a capacity of 500GB without an accompanying budget-breaking price tag. We heaped praise on the Scorpio Blue's...

Western Digital WD RE2 500GB SATA

Lots of storage, Reliable

Not ultra quick

This drive represents low cost and high capacity storage, compared to SCSI or Fibre Channel drives, and is a worthy storage option for small to medium businesses that require a large capacity solution for their servers.

Western Digital also claims the WD5000YS has been designed to run continuously in rack environments, and has advanced algorithms to tolerate vibration from this type of environment. Western Digital's Caviar RAID Edition hard drives are designed...
