By

Western Digital Corp. today announced it is now shipping its new WD Scorpio 320 GB 2.5-inch Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives for notebook computers and portable storage devices. This new drive is the highest capacity shipping drive in the industry for this form factor. This is a 70GB disk space increase over their previous flagship model, the Scorpio 250GB, which runs $159 plus shipping.

WD uses advanced head and media technology to achieve the world’s highest capacity 2.5-inch, slim, 9.5mm form-factor hard drive and includes proprietary features that make the drive extraordinarily quiet while running at cool operating temperatures. The WD Scorpio 320 GB hard drives deliver high performance with 3 Gb/s transfer rate and are destined for use in OEM notebook platforms that offer the highest storage capacities to the worldwide market.
