HDD Scorpio 80GB ATA 5400rpm 2MB 2.5"
WD Scorpio™ delivers best-in-class performance with power requirements comparable to much slower drives. In addition, you'll get the quietest 2.5-inch drive on the market, and the one with ruggedness, reliability, and data-protection features that actively watch over valuable data.
Product Benefits
Fast – spins at 5400 RPM and delivers seek times of 12ms. It has a standard 2 MB cache, with an 8 MB option.
Low Power – spins at 5400 RPM for fast performance but has power specifications similar to slower 4200 RPM drives. Low power consumption yields longer battery life and increased overall reliability.
Quiet – features WD's exclusive WhisperDrive™ technology with SoftSeek™ algorithms to deliver the quietest 2.5-inch hard drive on the market.
Reliable – provides ShockGuard™ to protect the drive mechanics and delicate platter surface from shocks, both when it's in use and when it's not. This leading-edge technology enables WD drives to meet the highest combined shock tolerance specifications in its class: 250 Gs while in operation, 900 Gs when it's idle. DuraStep Ramp™ locks the heads off the data disk to provide additional shock protection. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available on the market, the drive is able to execute a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination – up to twice the performance of its competitors.
Rugged – WD Scorpio has a rigid stainless steel cover, unlike other devices, that will withstand greater than
5 pounds of pressure – nearly 1.5 times the industry average without pinching the motor hub or other internal components.
