The WD Scorpio hard drive family has been expanded with a new member

After Fujitsu, WD also unveiled its 250GB hard drive for laptops.

Growing data storage needs are also reaching the notebook market pretty slowly. The 160GB size, which has been a peak so far, now seems to be tilting, and will soon be replaced by 250 hard drives. Fujitsu woke up first, followed by WD today.

Designed specifically for notebooks, the new member of the Scorpio series communicates with our machine via a SATA interface and takes full advantage of the perpendicular data recording solution. WD also provides features in addition to its new hard drive, such as IntelliSeek and WhisperDrive technology. The former tries to increase search performance, while the latter can be used to make your drive quieter. It is also important to mention the fantasy technology called ShockGuard, which makes our hard drive somewhat more resistant to external influences - vibration, shock.

The new WD2500BEVS will be available for the first time at the WD Online Store for just $ 199.
