Western Digital Scorpio Black 320GB (WD3200BJKT)
$100.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Free-fall sensor saves a lot of worry with potential falls. Faster than almost all OEM drives. Runs relatively cool, minimal heat generation.
The Cons:Free-fall sensor will conflict with motion sensors in MacBook and MacBook Pros. Slightly more noisy than OEM drives. Installation is trickier than most, need to pay special attention to the rubber grommet mounts.

It features a 7200rpm rotational speed and 16MB of cache; but it utilizes IntelliSeek and SecurePack technology to reduce power consumption to the level of a 5400rpm-equivalent HDD. Included also is ShockGuard technology for protecting the drive mechanics/platter-surfaces from shocks during shipping. Even more important is the WD3200BJKT’s free-fall sensor, which detects when the drive is falling and promptly parks the head to prevent damage and data loss.
