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.

Summary: Unusually poor quality for WD... 2010-09-01
Comment: What can I say, except stick to the facts and let you decide. I purchased this drive to replace one in my good friend's Dell Laptop that was experiencing data loss then wouldn't boot, etc. After a total reinstall of Vista, it kept reporting the drive as "Bad, Soon to fail" etc - "Backup your data and replace the drive". Windows Vista and the Western Digital hard drive test software agreed that the original drive was bad, causing the data loss. I purchased (this) replacement drive from Amazon, and received it on June 18, 2010. As of today 09/01/10 I have the laptop back - again it will not boot. This time it will not even spin up the drive. The platter is locked internally. So, about 2 months later, I need another drive, and I am faced with doing the job twice, trying to return this one, or obtain a warranty replacement from WD, and have him endure the down time - and let's face it, from where I stand, this could very likely lead to the possibility of having to do the job a 3rd time! I'm ready to recommend to him we don't even bother - just lick our wounds, choose a different brand and model drive and try our luck with that! I no longer trust this model WD drive (Let's hope it's JUST this model drive...) I would rate it as very, very unreliable.
