About this product

Product Information

Consumers who need an impressive combination of speed and low power usage in a replacement hard disk drive are able to find it in the whisper quiet Western Digital WD1600BEVS Scorpio Blue SATA hard drive. This versatile 2.5-inch drive works on both Mac and PC platforms and is designated for use on portable devices of all kinds, including laptops, notebook computers, external storage, and digital media players. The Scorpio Blue SATA drive is ideal for business, home use, or high-performance desktop computers. This Western Digital Scorpio Blue SATA hard drive offers a hefty 160GB capacity, allowing ample storage space for photos, videos, and music. It’s fast and efficient 1.5 Gb/s SATA interface speed will match the demands of most mobile applications, and it has a seven-pin SATA connector. With an 8MB buffer size, 5.5ms (nominal) average latency, and a highly efficient 5,400 RPM motor that uses the power of the slower 4,200 RPM drives, you are able to enjoy faster speeds and increased battery life. Expect an external data transfer rate of 150 Mbps and an internal data transfer rate of 75 Mbps. Western Digital provides you with reliable and durable drives in the Scorpio Blue internal enclosure line. To start, they have used only top-quality material, such as a rigid stainless-steel top, which makes it about much more durable than average hard drives. Western Digital employs the industry-leading ShockGuard technology, which protects the hard drive’s mechanics and platter surfaces from impact vibration. For additional non-operational shock tolerance, Western Digital’s DuraStep Ramp feature secures the recording heads away from the disk during spin up, spin down, and when the drive is off. This results in the recording head never touching the surface of the disk, ultimately leading to much less wear and tear on the hard drive as opposed to other HDDs, meaning your drive is long lasting. Perhaps one of the best features of all, the WD1600BEVS Scorpio Blue SATA 1.5 Gb/s hard drive is built for quiet performance. Western Digital’s WhisperDrive technology reduces noise output to create a virtually silent hard drive. With a sound emission of 26 dB, you won’t even know your laptop is on. Meanwhile, the state-of-the-art SoftSeek technology streamlines algorithms to minimize seek noise. These same algorithms speed up the drive’s seek times (12ms on average), which improves battery consumption as well. With its long-term reliability, durability, speed, and broad compatibility, the Western Digital WD1600BEVS Scorpio Blue SATA hard drive will please even the most demanding laptop and portable device needs. This Western Digital SATA hard drive will provide the best performance if kept between 41 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit with a humidity range between 8 and 90 percent. It is compliant with S.M.A.R.T. standards. Actual dimensions of the Scorpio Blue SATA drive are 0.37-inch high by 2.75 inches wide by 3.94 inches deep with a weight of 4.13 ounces. The Western Digital WD1600BEVS Scorpio Blue SATA hard drive is an ideal replacement device for those who need more storage or computer space than a standard PC or laptop are able to provide.

    WD1600BEVS-22RST0 Western Digital 160Gb SATA

    Bought this to replace one in my laptop that died after 10+ years of service. The drive that was shipped to me was the EXACT drive that was pictured in the ad. Needs to be FDISKED, formatted and reloaded, but that's it. It worked fine right out of the packaging. The only negative I can find was that it was shipped USPS and the packaging really needed more bubble wrap. Phil in TX

  • Good Hard Drive

    My 1545 laptop had crashed. Apparently hard drive had a bad sector on it. I was not able to reload to factory settings. All I could get to load on hard drive was Ubuntu os. I did not like Ubuntu os. Purchased above hard drive and installed in my laptop. When I turned on laptop it started right up as windows 7 was already loaded on it. It has run with no problems since then. I have this drive rated excellent as this saved my laptop from the parts bin at the local computer store.

  • Excellenty Product

    Product is good for replacement of bad laptop hard drive. Easy to install into computer and reinstall OS. Excellent storage size.

  • Western Digital Scorpio WD1600BEVS (160 GB, Serial ATA

    The title only allows 65 charachters, so it's incomplete. Here is the entire listing title: Western Digital Scorpio WD1600BEVS (160 GB, Serial ATA II/Serial ATA/IDE, 8 MB) Hard Drive I needed a laptop hard drive with an IDE interface and the listing was so poorly worded that I didn't find out until I bought it that it was a SATA HDD. Fortunately, the Seller refunded my money almost immediately. This isn't the first Western Digital hard drive I've purchased, and I've found them to be reliable, such that WD is the only brand of hard drive that I consider, whether it's for me or for one of my clients.
