About This Product
The Western Digital Scorpio Black is a 2.5-inch hard disk drive with 120GB capacity, a SATA 3.0 Gb/s interface, 16MB cache, and 7200 RPM rotational speed. This drive offers faster performance than typical 5400 RPM laptop HDDs, making it suitable for older laptops or as a secondary storage drive where SSDs are not feasible due to budget or compatibility. Its small capacity limits its use as a primary drive for modern operating systems and applications.

- Compact 2.5-inch form factor
