WD Unveils 320GB Scorpio Hard Disk - Specifications Similar to Toshibal's MK3252GSX
Following the release of Toshiba's 320GB high density Serial ATA hard disk, Western Digital now unveiled a similar specifications hard disk. The Western Digital named this hard disk as Scorpio and has a capacity of 320GB featured with a speed of 5400rpm, 8MB cache and 300MB/s maximum data transfer rate. The scorpio has a data seek time of 12ms same as Toshiba's MK3252GSX. The Scorpio looks as a carbon copy of Toshiba if we look at the features of both the hard disks. However, Western Digital seems to be simply unaware of the Toshiba's MK3252GX as they told that this is the World's Highest Density 2.5" Serial ATA hard disk although Toshiba was the one who won the race. So, moving on to the pricing of Western Digital 320GB Scorpio hard disk. The hard disk is little on the high side but that is obviously expected as this is just the start of it and is priced at $199.99.
