You can never have enough disk space, something that is even more true with notebook computers than anything. We’re now all carrying more and more data around with us and a big drive is important to have. Western Digital is announcing a solution for that storage problem with the release of the new Scorpio Black drives. These new drives all spin at a fast 7,200 rpm and come in capacities of 80 – 320 GB which is very nice. The Scorpio drives are 2.5 inch drives so you won’t likely see them in the mini-notebooks that are all the rage but most notebooks can use that size peripheral so I expect we’ll start seeing OEMs using them soon.
