WD Scorpio Blue 7mm hard drive for Ultrabooks now available in select resellers in the Philippines

Western Digital announced today that it is shipping the WD Scorpio Blue 7 mm hard drive, the latest addition to its mobile hard drive family and the 2.5-inch drive with the lowest power consumption on the market today. The new single-platter WD Scorpio Blue small form factor hard drives are available in 500GB for Php4,250.00, 320GB for Php3,300.00 and 250 GB for Php3,025.00.

Features of the new WD Scorpio Blue 7 mm hard drives include:
• Low power consumption - Advanced power management features and algorithms optimize the way the drive seeks data, which significantly improves power consumption.
• Shock Tolerance – WD’s ShockGuard technology, now increased to a best-in-market 400Gs shock specification, protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks.
• Cool and quiet - In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive technology enables quiet performance.
• Reliable – 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.
• Compatibility Tested - WD performs tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in its FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give customers confidence that drives will work in specific systems.

WD Scorpio Blue 7 mm hard drives are now shipping through its distributors, EA Global Supply Chain Solutions, Inc., Verdure Xchange Tech, Inc. and Ubertech, Inc. and select resellers in the Philippines, the WD Scorpio Blue 7 mm 2.5-inch mobile hard drives are covered by a two-year limited warranty.
