Massive capacity
Whether they are in an external

WD Scorpio Blue SATA drives
continue to offer the highest
capacity for space-hungry
operating systems with plenty of
room left over for photos, music,

overall drive height (750 GB and

capacity for 2.5-inch form factor
drives upwards to a realm once

WhisperDrive™ combines state-of-

Reliable and rugged
WD's ShockGuard™ technology
protects the drive mechanics and

SecurePark™ parks the recording
heads off the disk surface during
spin up, spin down, and when the
