Introduction: Known by their family name of  "Scorpio", Western Digital's laptop hard disk drives are available with either an IDE or SATA interface, a 2Mb or 8Mb cache, and in capacities varying from 80GB up to 1TB.

WD Scorpio Failure Symptoms: So far, the Scorpio drives we've seen come in for recovery at Data Clinic have failed with the common laptop hard drive failure symptoms ie.

  • The drive will no longer be recognised when the laptop is powered on. Additionally a regular ticking noise may be heard from the hard drive, or
  • The drive will be recognised but the computer will run slowly and access times to files and folders will be impaired. Sometimes the machine will hang and a ticking noise be heard from the hard drive.
  • The drive will be recognised as WDC ROM MODEL--SCORPIO. If so, please read our WDC ROM MODEL data recovery page

Cause & Recovery Possibilities: As with all laptop hard disks, there are numerous causes of these problems, but the symptoms are often the same. Data Clinic are often able to perform a full recovery of data from Western Digital Scorpio hard disk drives.

What if I have one of these drives but the symptoms are different?: This is quite possible, Scorpio's are still prone to all the other problems hard disks suffer from ie. mechnical failure, logical failure, bad sectors etc.

What should I do?: Call the Data Clinic and talk your problem through with us on 0871 977 2525, or fill out our Contact Form and we'll call you back

If your laptop was manufactured before this date and has a hard disk problem you will probably find the hard drive it contains is either an IBM / Hitachi Travelstar or a Toshiba laptop model.
