Massive capacity - Whether they are in an external drive or a notebook computer, WD’s 320 GB 2.5-inch drives offer the most available capacity for space-hungry operating systems like Windows Vista™, plus plenty of room left over for photos, music, and video.
Fast and Efficient - With 5400 RPM spin speed and 12 ms access time, even the most demanding customer will appreciate the performance achieved by WD Scorpio drives.
Quiet - In a notebook drive, silence is golden. WD’s exclusive WhisperDrive™ combines state-of-the-art seeking algorithms to yield one of the quietest 2.5-inch hard drives on the market. These algorithms also optimize the way a drive seeks for data, which significantly improves power consumption. So now silence (and longer battery life) is golden.
Reliable and Rugged - WD's ShockGuard™ technology protects the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shocks. WD's SecurePark™ parks the recording heads off the disk surface during spin up, spin down and when the drive is off. This ensures the recording head never touches the disk surface resulting in improved long term reliability due to less head wear, and improved non- operational shock tolerance.
Tested for Compatibility - We perform tests on hundreds of systems and a multitude of platforms in our FIT Lab and Mobile Compatibility Lab to give our customers confidence that our drives will work in their systems.

Overall it's a great drive for a great price. I was hesitant to get it at first because I had heard that there were problems with heat and noise/vibration. Now that I have it though it's nothing like I thought it would be. Sure it's a little hotter in my laptop (44C-49C, still within the 60C of manufacturer's specs) compared to my previous drive (39C) and takes a little more power under both idle and load but the speed increase was amazing (basically 2x or more faster in min/avg/max in HDTune). I also haven't had a problem with noise or vibration.

Originally, I purchased this as a Laptop replacment but I found it vibrates too much for my taste. I'm not sure if it will vary from copy to copy but I ended up getting Hitachi instead. It will work great and you will not notice the difference if it was in an external drive (or if you want to put into a PC case) but if you use it for a latop (HP); then you will feel it vibrate on the left of your palm. Great external drive but I prefer the Hitachi. Haven't tried the 320gb Toshiba, Fijitsu or Samsung so can't comment.

Upgraded from an 100gb 7200rpm and because of the data density this 5400rpm drive is faster. Average speed increased from ~35mb/s to ~50mg/s and thats across the whole drives. Typical speed is 60mb/s
