Features:
  • Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD's 320 GB 2.5-inch drives offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista?, plus plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video
  • Fast and Efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD Scorpio drives.
  • Quiet - In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD's exclusive WhisperDrive combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption. So now silence (and longer battery life) is golden
  • Reliable and Rugged - WD's ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. 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
  • Tested for Compatibility - We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in Western Digital's FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems

4 out of 5 stars Bought this to upgrade my PS3   October 12, 2008
I bought the WD Scorpio 320G to upgrade my original 60G PS3 because I kept running out of space. Install was easy and I have lots of free space now.

My only slight complaint is that, of the 298G formatted capacity, I only have 217G left after restoring the data from my 60G drive. Why did it take 80G to restore my 60G drive? Where did the other 20G go?

Anyway, I'm happy with the product and would definately reccomend it.



5 out of 5 stars Very quiet drive....   October 5, 2008
The cloning went smoothly with Acronis True Image, the drive popped in easily and it's working just fine. Can hardly hear it at all.


5 out of 5 stars Great Hard Drive To Maximize PS3 Storage   October 4, 2008
i bought this hard drive in order to max out the space of my ps3, this drive works perfectly so far, and i don't have to worry about deleting items for awhile.


5 out of 5 stars Very nice   October 4, 2008

This works great in my PS3, fast access, lots of storage, my games run faster and better, and it was easy to install. Be careful though the people at the Sony factory like to screw in the original hard drive TOO tight thus completley stripping out the "phillips slots" when you try to remove the screws so that you can't get the hard drive out of the caddy, however if this happens they will send you a new caddy free if you ask for one, I got mine about 3 days after I asked for it (the screws are included even the blue one).
You will like this hard drive if you want to upgrade your PS3!



3 out of 5 stars Noisy   October 4, 2008
Definitly noisier than the stock Macbook drive. I never noticed any noise before, and this is just loud enough to be annoying. I can feel a very slight vibration as I type. Maybe I got a dud...
