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.

 Easy to install November 23, 2009
Colleen A. Lerro (arlington, va)
The product shipped quickly. It was very easy to install. It has a lot more memory for your dollar then you get with the hard drive that comes with the standard macbook. i bought it because my hard drive died, but would recommend for someone looking to upgrade as well.
 Good Value for your money November 23, 2009
Reon John (Trinidad W.I)
This was my first replacement HDD for my laptop, and I got to say it works pretty well, It is silent and the speed is acceptable running Windows 7, the packaging was real neat as well, the drive was encased in two black casing on either side keeping it horizontal in the box. Great Buy!
Fast and quiet November 21, 2009

More than enough storage for my laptop -- enough to partition to do dual-boot -- and is ultra quiet and fast. Haven't had it for too long, so can't comment on it's durability. Excellent buy.
Works Perfect! November 20, 2009
Brian M. Edwards (Edinburg, Texas USA)
This was so easy to install, I had it up and running in just minutes. I bought it for my Gateway T series laptop (I had dropped it and it was giving me "doomsday" warnings about imminent HD failure)
This cost me less than $60 and I am now back up and running.
A great buy!!!
Great upgrade for my PS3...from 60 to 500! November 20, 2009
Grisle (California)
I recently purchased and installed this on my launch PS3. I don't notice any difference in speeds between this hard drive and my old one, but I can swear it's a little quieter. Installation on a PS3 is really simple except for the screws which are super soft and can be stripped easily. I'm really happy I got it and now have a ton of room on my PS3!
