Western Digital rolls out 320GB 2.5-inch Scorpio hard drive

Quote:

It's not the first to boast of a 320GB 2.5-inch hard drive, but Western Digital looks to be the first to actually ship one, with its new 320GB Scorpio SATA drive now available to anyone with a hankering for some spacious portable storage. In addition to cramming all those gigabytes into a laptop-friendly package, the drive is also said to be "one of the quietest 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch drives available," with WD's trademark WhisperDrive and IntelliSeek technology promising to keep the noise down and the power consumption to a minimum. Those looking to swap out their old drive for this one can expect to pay an even $200, although you can be sure you'll be seeing it as a pre-installed option before too long as well.

Seems like a good upgrade option.

200 is not much more that 250GB which was 169 or more.

That's freaking sweet!

I picked up a 160GB for about 80 shipped so based on what the 250 is going for this is a great deal, but I am good for a while

There is a 205 GB limit for the partitions at this point..hopefully that will change with a FW upgrade.

Nice

i've been looking for one of these, when is it released exactly?
tell me how it is once you get it bro.

SixAxiS · 11-05-2007, 04:01 AM

Nice. If it's too expensive then I'll just stick with the 250gb hdd. I haven't upgraded yet though.

oXweebleXo · 11-05-2007, 04:33 AM

from what i read it will have a $200 price tag

Rike255 · 11-05-2007, 04:44 AM

I can't even fill my 160GB yet...but this is a very nice option in the future. Maybe when the price drops a bit and I'm all out of room I'll consider it.

Nice find!
