My WD5000BEVT was unbearable to use, no thanks to Idle3/"intellipark". Always spun down at 8 seconds regardless of OS APM settings. WDIDLE3 did not help anything (disabling the timer actually made it park and lag almost exponentially more often!) And if random 3-5 second lags weren't enough, it ran *very* warm and voraciously devoured my laptop's battery time! I eventually wound up ditching it in favor of an aging Seagate Momentus 7200.1 which, while also hot and hungry, at least never lagged.
frign scorpio runs hot. My old 2500bevs failed. fortunately i was able to pull data off even though it failed the smart diagnostic. The replacement they sent was the exact same model and it's running 50 c under light usage on a cool evening. I expect this one to fail too.
I got a 250gb Scorpio Black and makes almost no noise, is way quicker than my old one (I have the 7200RPM one), and is practically indestructible, but what else would you expect from the greatest hard drive company in the world.
yea u could put the scorpio in your ps3, theirs lots of video of how u can do this and also u could use a 1tb desktop hdd but u need a sata extension cable and a power supply plus and external hard drive sleeve
