80 GB 2.5" SATA laptop drive

This new 80 GB Western Digital Scorpio BLACK drive spins at 7200 RPM with a 16 MB cache. It uses a 2.5 inch SATA 3Gb/s interface suited for laptops or compact desktops. The mechanism includes IntelliSeek, WhisperDrive, ShockGuard and SecurePark technologies for lower power draw and quiet operation.

No bundled accessories included

The product ships as a bare drive without cables, brackets, mounting screws or software media. You will need to provide a SATA data cable and a compatible power connector from your system. No cloning utility or diagnostic disc is supplied by the manufacturer.

Verify 2.5" bay and SATA host

Confirm your chassis or laptop has a free 2.5 inch drive bay and an available SATA port on the motherboard or controller. The drive draws power from the standard SATA power connector; no extra adapter is required. Buyers needing higher capacity or a secondary drive should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How often should the 16 MB cache be serviced?

The 16 MB cache is solid-state memory on the drive controller and has no moving parts, so it requires no periodic servicing or replacement during the drive's life.

Will the 7200 RPM spindle hit a thermal limit first during sustained writes?

Sustained writes keep the spindle at 7200 RPM continuously, so the drive's internal thermal sensor is the first limit reached; the firmware will throttle throughput to stay within safe temperature margins.

How loud is the WhisperDrive mechanism when the 80 GB platters run all day?

WhisperDrive technology reduces seek noise, but a 7200 RPM 2.5" drive still produces audible whir and occasional click during constant all-day operation.
