Comment: With a 7200 RPM drive speed, 16 MB cache, and 3 GB/s SATA interface, the Western Digital Scorpio Black 500GB hard drive looks impressive on paper and had solid performance numbers in the benchmarks.

I bought this drive to upgrade my 2 y+ macbook pro with a new hard drive (and new RAM), hoping to extend it's useful life. The upgrade process of a macbook's hd is a pain, but the result is very satisfying. More than quadrupled my available space and boot / load times have improved appreciably. I didn't own comparable items to compare with other drive, but I would recommend this one to anyone looking to upgrade a laptop. (Read More)

Very affordable 500gb drive. Drive noise seems high compared to the 5400 rpm drive it replaced. This may be just a trait of a 7200 rpm drive and may not be of concern but it is worth noting that drive life may be lower than expected. (Read More)

Bought this nice upgrade drive to replace My PS3 Toshiba 80GB HDD.

I had this in my PS3 for 10 months now, and I use my PS3 gaming and blu-ray movie on a daily 30h-50h a week and my drive is about 50% full already from all the game installed I own. (Read More)

No problems installing the hard drive. Everything is working to spec, it makes noise when at full rpm but overall fairly quiet. Its a good volume size for a laptop computer. Very good value for gb/price compared to a ssd option. (Read More)

Not much to say here, the drive is quite fast, has a great warranty, and is an awesome deal when on sale. Picked mine up for $53, will stick to these drives for 2.5" applications going forwards. If you're picky on noise, consider flooking for other options (SSD) if you're looking for a laptop drive, as this drive is louder than most. (Read More)

I bought this to put in the 2nd HD caddy in my thinkpad. I read some of the reviews about the noise level but I got it anyway. It is definitely audible in a low-noise room, it sounds like a fan, but it doesn't bother me much. It is faster than the 5400rpm 250GB Toshiba drive that it is replacing and it doesn't seem to put too much of a dent into the battery life. (Read More)
