Product Description Ooma 500GB Scorpio Blue SATA Mobile Hard Drive Big capacity for portable computing. With available SATA or PATA interfaces, WD Scorpio Blue drives offerhigh-performance, low power consumption, and cooloperation, perfect for notebooks and other portable devices. Pick the drive that suits your needs with the confidence in knowing that all WD Scorpio Blue drives are built to the highest standards of quality and reliability. Features: * Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD Scorpio Blue SATA drives are available in capacities up to 500 GB and offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems, like Windows Vista, with plentyof room left over for photos, music, and video. * Quiet - In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WDs 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. * Fast and efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time and up to 3 Gb/s SATA interface speed, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD Scorpio Blue drives. * Tested for compatibility - We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT LabTM and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidencethat our drives will work in their systems.
This is "The Hard Drive" for the PS3March 8, 2010 Rafa(San Jose, Costa Rica) I bought this hard drive a few months ago due to the lack of space of my PS3 80 GB hard drive. I made a back up of the data from the PS3 hard drive, and then I removed the old one and installed the new one (500 GB nice!) and it was immediately detected and formatted in a few instants. I transferred all of the PS3 data, everything ran fine and right now I have used like 150 GB and I still have plenty space left for use for demos, videos, music, saves, download content, etc.
About this drive I must say:
Pros:
It's a Western Digital.
Compatible with PS3 recommended specs (for instance: 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch hard drive).
Size 500 GB.
Cons:
The package does not seem to be very secure with those air bags included, not sure if those air bags will fully protect an OEM hard drive.
Despite of that minor inconvenient, Western Digital hard disks ROCKS!!.
100% recommended.
5 stars.
Perfect for PS3March 3, 2010 Cody Walvatne I purchased this Hard Drive to upgrade the 60gb already in my system. Everything runs smoothly, works great in the PS3 and easy to install and format.
Cheap and functionalMarch 1, 2010 John Lee Overall a low price hard drive for my sony laptop. Has a slight ticking noise to it when it reads/writes data. The black version is a higher end version which I will probably get next time.
Great buy!February 28, 2010 W. G. Mccann(Vancouver Washington) I just bought 2 more of these. The price is great for what you get. I use them for external's, have installed them in my PS3's and one will go in my new Mac. Can't go wrong with these.
