Western Digital rolls out 320GB 2.5-inch Scorpio hard drive

It’s not the first to boast of a 320GB 2.5-inch hard drive, but Western Digital looks to be the first to actually ship one, with its new 320GB Scorpio SATA drive now available to anyone with a hankering for some spacious portable storage. In addition to cramming all those gigabytes into a laptop-friendly package, the drive is also said to be “one of the quietest 5400 RPM, 2.5-inch drives available,” with WD’s trademark WhisperDrive and IntelliSeek technology promising to keep the noise down and the power consumption to a minimum. Those looking to swap out their old drive for this one can expect to pay an even $200, although you can be sure you’ll be seeing it as a pre-installed option before too long as well.
