2.5-in. SATA hard drive has highest capacity

The 250-Gbyte Scorpio WD2500BEVS 2.5-in. SATA hard-disk drive employs perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) technology for high capacity. It features 5,400-rpm spin speed, an 8-Mbyte buffer, and 12-ms read seek time.

The drive uses state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to make it one of the quietest 2.5-in. drives available, at 24-dBA seek mode average. The drive weighs just 0.26 lbs and proactively calculates an optimum seek speed to eliminate hasty movement of the actuator, which produces noise and uses power. ($200available now.)
