[Tech ARP] Western Digital Blue (WD10SPCX) 1 TB Slim Mobile Hard Disk Drive Review

[news 28]

 

 

Dear editor,

 

 

 

We have just posted the *Western Digital Blue (WD10SPCX) 1 TB Slim Mobile

Hard Disk Drive Review*.

 

 

 

*Quote :* When Western Digital launched the WD10JPVT, a 1 TB Scorpio Blue

drive, it featured two of their new high-capacity 500 GB 2.5" platters. The

drive was thus able to fit standard 2.5" storage bays. If you recall, the

original 1 TB Scorpio Blue drive (the WD10TPVT) had a thickness of 12.5 mm,

which prevented it from fitting most 2.5" storage bays, thereby relegating

it mostly to special applications like portable USB drives.

 

Even so, the standard 9.5 mm form factor of the WD10JPVT was too thick for

the Ultrabooks. To accommodate these thinner notebooks, Western Digital

created the *WD10SPCX*, which is basically an improved 7 mm version of the

WD10JPVT.

 

It sports two of the same 500 GB Advanced Format platters in a slimmer form

factor, with double the SDRAM cache and a faster SATA 6 Gb/s interface. But

will all that translate into better performance? Let's take a look.
