Hard drive is perfect for general storage and mightyape delivered blazing fast. :)

I bought this hard disk. Excellent service from Flipkart. I received the package in 2 days. Installed Windows 7 and copied my backup to this disk at a sustained speed of 54 MBps. The hard disk is, no doubt, faster than an average 5400 rpm disk.

Western Digital has had a 1TB (1,000GB) hard disk in its 2.5in (laptop-sized) Scorpio Blue range for a while now (that's the WD10TPVT), so you may be asking yourself what's so special about the WD10JPVT apart from the changing of a letter in the model name.

Western Digital – where have you been dude??? (I am running out of opening lines here). WD Scorpio Blue 1TB 2.5″ WD10JPVT – a 2.5″ form factor with a 9.5mm thickness Scorpio Blue drive. They sent a drive for evaluation and this looks to be interesting.

Had to find my recovery disks to initialize hard drive but for an older laptop, this disk is perfect. Am very pleased now that I have it up and running. Patience is the keyword.

Western Digital has released a 9.5 mm version of its Scorpio Blue 1 TB hard disk. We tested it to find out how it performs.
