Summary of Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD10TPVT (1TB)

Storage capacity for 2.5-inch form factor drives with standard 9.5 mm height has arrived at a realm once thought to be impossible - up to 1 TB - giving you all the capacity you need to keep your photos, music and files right there on your notebook. WD\'s 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. WD\'s ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. Technology being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers to continue growing hard drive capacities. New drives featuring AF are optimized for operation with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard. For older operating systems such as Windows XP, users must run the free WD Align software utility to achieve the full performance of the drive. State-of-the-art seeking algorithms and advanced power management features ensure low power consumption and long battery life. In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD\'s exclusive WhisperDrive technology yields one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market.
