Acer’s Vice President of Mobile Computing Business Unit, Campbell Kan said, “Consumer demands for high capacity storage are stronger than ever. WD is again leading the industry by delivering high quality, high capacity product to the market with the introduction of its new WD Scorpio 320GB hard drive. WD understands the increasing storage requirements of the notebook market, allowing Acer to introduce high-capacity notebook solutions that meet our customer’s ever-growing demands.”
 
According to WD, the Scorpio 320GB SATA hard drive is a direct result of the significant investments WD has made in proprietary head technologies. With the introduction of its latest-generation WD Scorpio drives, WD continues to offer mobile computing and portable storage customers the same quality, reliability and performance in the desktop PC market.
 
“In today’s market, new notebook systems are increasingly targeting heavy duty applications in the office and home. As system manufacturers improve performance and add data hungry features, high-capacity hard drives become a key ingredient that allows users to fully benefit from the latest computing technologies,” says Jim Morris, WD’s vice president and General Manager of Notebook Storage.
