Using a highly efficient motor that spins at RPM while only using as much power as slower RPM drives, it gives you faster seek times and longer batter life. These features combined with the rigid stainless steel top that can withstand 1. Low drive power consumption is vital for notebook battery life, and in this regard the Scorpio Blue 1TB excels despite its high capacity.

It was fairly frugal at idle 0. The Scorpio Black GB was on the high side, sucking down 1. The sound they emitted was very soft and inconspicuous though the Black generated a noticeably more prominent hissing sound, undoubtedly because of its higher rotational speed. It seemed to us the Black was actually quieter in this regard, but because its background idle noise was higher, the Black turned out to be the noisier of the two by about half a decibel.

While not as quiet as some of the superb GB RPM models of the past, we consider the Scorpio Blue 1TB to be quiet enough especially considering its massive capacity.
