Well, for faster loading it would be nice to see if WD could have a flash NAND just like Seagate ...
Abstract: Over the past few years, 2.5" hard disk capacities have grown by leaps and bounds. And although they're still typically slower than 3.5" drives, performance in the 2.5" form factor continues to increase due to higher data density. Today, even 2.5" drives positioned as quiet energy-savers manage sequential transfer rates over 85 MB/s, while more performance-oriented disks sport transfer rates just shy of 100 MB/s....
Abstract: If you've already read our review of the 640 GB Western Digital Scorpio Blue (WD6400BEVT), you will remember that we were pretty disappointed with its performance. Despite its higher-density platters and consequently higher transfer rates, the WD6400B....

Slim size means compatibility with Ultrabooks, Compatible with standard 9.5mm notebook drive bays, Best of class performance in most benchmarks
5400RPM maximum speed limits data transfer rates
For users of ultrathin notebooks there are often compromises due to design constraints, but thanks to WD high-capacity storage isn't one of them. The new 7mm Western Digital Scorpio Blue gives users a class-leading 500GB hard drive that does well on its o...
With the new Ultrabook standard set for release, I would not be surprised to see OEMs shipping out new products with a drive such as the WD5000LPVT. The improvement, with its single platter design, over the last gen product, puts this new Scorpio Blu...
