80GB 2.5" SATA notebook drive

The Western Digital Scorpio Blue WD800BEVT is an 80GB 2.5" internal hard drive built for laptop SATA bays. It spins at 5400 RPM with an 8MB cache and a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface. The bare drive measures 9.5mm in height and is suited to older notebooks or secondary storage upgrades.

Fits legacy SATA laptops, not speed-critical builds

This drive suits owners of older notebooks that accept a 9.5mm 2.5" SATA drive and need affordable capacity for documents, music or backups. Builders who want faster boot times, quicker application loads or higher sustained throughput should look at solid-state alternatives instead.

Steady 5400 RPM operation under load

Under sustained workloads the 5400 RPM spindle and 8MB cache deliver consistent, predictable throughput with 5.5ms average latency. The SATA 3.0Gb/s link and Native Command Queuing help maintain orderly data flow during extended file copies or backups without the thermal spikes of faster-spinning drives.

Questions about this item

Does my laptop need a 2.5" SATA drive bay for the WD800BEVT?

Yes, the drive uses a 2.5" form factor with a SATA 3.0Gb/s interface and fits 9.5mm bays.

Will the 5400 RPM speed and 8MB cache work with an older SATA 1.5Gb/s controller?

The drive is backward compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, though transfer rates will be limited to that speed.

How can I confirm the Scorpio Blue is running at 5400 RPM after installation?

Check the model WD800BEVT in BIOS or use a SMART tool to verify 5400 RPM and 80GB capacity.
