It's Reliable and Rugged

WD Scorpio provides ShockGuard™ to protect the drive mechanics and delicate platter surfaces from shocks, both when it's in use and when it's not. This leading-edge technology enables WD drives to meet the highest combined shock tolerance specifications: 250 Gs while in operation, 900 Gs when it's idle.

WD Scorpio's DuraStep Ramp locks the heads off the data disk to provide additional shock protection. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available on the market, the drive is able to perform a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors.

WD Scorpio has a rigid stainless steel cover, unlike other devices, that withstands greater than 5 pounds of pressure - nearly 1.5 times the industry average - without pinching the motor hub or other internal components.
