Features for Western Digital 320 GB Scorpio Sata 5400 Rpm 8MB 2.5IN:
- 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

Great PS3 Replacement Drive 
2008-08-29
Works Great in the PS3.
Installation was Easy.
For those of you stuck at 30Gig on your Backup Drive due to Windows Fat32 Limitation. I used a Utility called Swiss Knife that you can find on CNet website or Download.com website. It allowed me to Format my Drive larger than 30 Gig so I could Backup my 60 Gig Drive.
Granted if you do not have an external USB Harddrive available you can backup your gamesaves to a USB thumb drive and then you have to re-download all your stuff from the PSN Store from the Downloads Link.
All of your Games have to re-update as well. Not too big of a hassle...
Now I have a TON of room left. I think I'll copy my whole CD Library to my nice big Hard Drive...
Great for PS3 2008-08-29
Bought this to upgrade my 60GB PS3 and it has not given me any issues so far(knock on wood). It comes to 300GB formatted...PS3 OS eats a little of it but overall great drive.
Performance and Quality 2008-08-25
This drive is very silent and it's power management is outstanding! I compared it to my previous drive that came in my Mac (Hitachi) and it works flawlessly.
More space, what a relief 2008-08-17
I was looking to upgrade my Macbook from the easily filled 80GB drive that came with it. I have a lot of music and tons of pictures that i shoot in Raw format, so this 320GB drive provided a big relief with tons of storage space.
My laptop is running faster and I no longer get any "drive almost full" errors anytime I edit pictures in Photoshop. Thumbs up to this drive.

A Perfect fit 2008-08-14
I bought this just for my PS3. I originally had a 40gb model and this new hard drive works wonders. After installing it and formatting the new hdd, you are left with approximately 263 GB of space. I read somewhere online that the PS3 counts "space" a little differently so you can actually put around 280 GB of info on this hdd, but still anything over 250 GB is a LOT of space.
And as far as speed is concerned, I've noticed certain things load a little quicker. I'm not sure if the hdd has anything to do with that, but I've only got 160 GB of space left and my PS3 is still fast as lightning when it comes to loading and pulling up pics and vids.
Excelente compra 2008-08-08
Compre el HDD WD Scorpio 320 GB para cambiarlo por el de 40 GB de mi PS3. Gran compra. Ahora tengo suficiente espacio para demos, videos y actualizaciones de juegos. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Gracias.
Works Great With My PS3 2008-07-28
I bought this drive specifically for use in my PS3. Installation was a breeze. I backed up my old drive to a third external drive, swapped it out with this one, and restored everything with no issues whatsoever. I'm very happy with it -- now I've got room for tons of demos, music, and videos.
Unbelievable Bargain! 2008-07-12
I have to say that I am EXTREMELY PLEASED with this purchase. I recently acquired a PS3 and was unhappy with the amount of digital storage space that it had. For those of you who don't know the PS3 is more than a gaming system, it's a fully functional gaming hub. I successfully installed the scorpio and now have almost 100gb of MP4's (movies), MP3's (music), and fully digital games installed. It works like a charm and is a bargain at this price. I am strongly considering buying another for my laptop.
