Good buyStrengths: Lots of space. Works well with my Dell Inspiron 700m. Looks like there's minimal change to battery life and temperature of laptop. Weakness: From time to time, you can hear an faint but audible *whirr* sound as the disc spins. When transferring large files, the drive sounds like a horse and lets off a lot of heat. After reviewing various websites for a 260GB EIDE 2.5" laptop drive, I found the Scorpio WD2500BEVE was touted as a industry recommended drive for those seeking more storage. My only concern is if the drive really stops functioning after 30 days like some of the customer reviews I've read. However, it was undisputed that of the large capacity drives out there, the Scorpio from Western Digital was...

Great drive! Challenge to install.Strengths: Very spacious and quiet! Thanks to WD for producing a very large IDE drive for laptops! Weakness: Challenging to integrate into my systems due to limitations in our existing hardware and software. I thought installing this drive would go smoothly since Vista does not have the 137 GB limit that plagued the early versions of XP. Wrong! Unfortunately, the restore disk that came with my Fujitsu laptops booted Windows XP and had the 137 GB limit! Attempting to restore the system to these large disks resulted in an error. Also, my IDE clamshells had some sort of limit, as well, causing an error...

I would Buy it Again!!Strengths: Storage Size, Quick Access, and Quite Weakness: Installation Issues Let's go over the good points. This has got to be one of the largest hard drives you can get for a laptop on the market. With a drive this large it will be a long time before you fill this bad boy up. I have also noticed that this drive does access the data faster than the 4200RPM that this drive replaced. It was noticeable to me. I read some of the other reviews and I remember reading someone...

Strengths: Great storage capacity, low power consumption, price is right
Weakness: My disk came bare -- not a word of printed material. Not a big deal, what you can need from Western Digital's website.
WD's Scorpio WD2500BEVE notebook drive provides a great upgrade path for users who thought they had maxed out their EIDE internal laptop storage users. I installed it in the HP ZD8000 laptop that goes everywhere with me, and so far it does exactly what a commodity hard disk should do: it runs quietly and coolly (disk idle on this drive is 0.3 W vs 0.99 W on my old 100GB drive). If you're...
