Western Digital unveils New 750GB HDD for Laptops
Just afterwards Toshiba appear high-density adamantine drives for laptops aftermost week, Western Digital additionally joins the bold with the new 2.5-inch WD Scorpio Blue 750GB adamantine deejay drive for laptops. With 750GB accommodation new WD Scorpio Blue 750GB has two 375GB-per-platter areal body and additionally appearance Advanced Format Technology. WD has additionally added WhisperDrive technology for quieter operation of these HDDs which are listed at $149 (Rs. 7,200 approx.) online and appear with a three-year warranty. We'll amend this amplitude as anon as we get India-specific amount and availability.
New WD Scorpio Blue 750GB HDD joins the alliance of industry's aboriginal 1TB laptop drives. This 750GB HDD comes with 12.5mm acme anatomy factor. New Scorpio Blue HDD is about agnate to Toshiba's afresh apparent MK1059GSM HDD in agreement of specifications. The HDDs from both companies accept 8MB absorber admeasurement and accomplish best of 3Gb/s SATA interface. Just like Toshiba's HDD, the Scorpio Blue has apprehend seek time of 12 milliseconds and consumes 1.6Watts during read/write operations.Main features of the WD Scorpio Blue 750GB HDD for laptops include:
* Advanced Format technology - Technology being pioneered by WD and adopted by other drive manufacturers to increase media format efficiencies, thus enabling larger drive capacities.
* WhisperDrive - WD's exclusive WhisperDrive technology 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.
* ShockGuard - Leading-edge ShockGuard technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.
* SecurePark - SecurePark technology 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.
