Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: |
The largest selling 2.5-inch drives on the market are 4200 RPM. Why have you designed only a 5400 RPM drive? |
| A: |
WD Scorpio is the best of both worlds: 5400 RPM performance and 4200 RPM reliability. The drive spins at 5400 RPM, but all other specifications match 4200 RPM drives. The drive requires only as much power as a 4200 RPM drive, runs as cool as a 4200 RPM drive, and therefore delivers optimum reliability. | |
