    For older machines much bang for the buck with the Scorpio Black.

    I have an older mac with the slower hd transfer rate of 1.5 Gbs and was debating about putting in a newer 3 or 6 Gbs solid state OWC drive or this 7200 rpm drive. I bought and tried both and found the difference in write speed negligible 95 mbs vs. 60 gas for my purposes, and the read speed likewise, 155 mbs vs. 98 using blackmagic speed disk software to measure. This boiled down to no noticeable difference for light users like me, not photoshopping, not movie editing, not doing 5 things at once. For my occasional heavier use I like having the Black Scorpio with the larger capacity. Comparison was with OWC Mercury 3g 60gb and this WD Scorpio Black 7200 rpm 320gb, the cost was identical. Running Samsung 830's in my newer macs and without question that is the way to go with them, this ...

    A great Hard Drive

    This is a really good hard drive. It's super fast, super reliable so far. I put this drive in my macbook to replace the 250 gb 5400 rpm drive. I noticed a big performance jump. The only negative thing i have to say is that the new drive is a little louder than the factory drive and I notice a slight decrease in battery life of my laptop. All in all I love this drive.

    Great little drive. Great external, storage drive.

    Great little hard drive. And, I got mine real cheap too! It was used, but has held up well. I use it in an external case. FOR LESS THAN FORTY DOLLARS, I HAVE NOT HAD A BETTER DEAL! If you run across one, dont hesitate to snatch it up, well worth the price for a new one. Performs magnifigantly.

    The best, most reliable spinning laptop drive you can get.

    Western Digital spinning drives are my favorite. This 500 gb laptop drive, running at 7200 rpm is about as good you are going to experience without going to an SSD type hard drive. In fact my laptop is running a 500 gb SSD as a primary drive and this western Digital as the second or data drive so I get both speed and reliability. I would buy another one when needed. Thanks, TheIndustrialArtist.
