Review on 💽 High-Performance Western Digital Scorpio Blue 750 GB SATA Notebook Hard Drive - WD7500BPVT by William Stewart

HP HDX 16 laptops are great laptops, they work well, support 1920 x 1080 screens, have enough CPU and memory, but there is a problem - they don't have enough storage space for serious use (you can no longer buy them new from HP either). In my case I have 100+ virtual PCs consuming 300-400GB. So my only complaint was that you couldn't get an HDX16 with enough storage. Worse, HP's latest 'equivalent' laptops suffer from overprices and overheating with quad-core processors that can literally fry eggs (or your legs). After Googling "install a WD hard drive in your laptop" and watching an informative video, I decided to install a couple of WD hard drives and upgrade both HDX16 laptops with 750GB drives along with Windows 7 Pro. It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought (and a lot easier than some of the reviews suggested). Both the WD hard drive and the Windows 7 update worked without hiccups (it's also great to get rid of Windows Vista and all its quirks, especially the slow boot). 7 provided a 100% compatible upgrade with no special drive drivers required (Windows 7 immediately recognized the WD 750GB Scorpio Blue drive and installed it with no problems). I now have plenty of storage space with a hard drive and a Windows operating system that works reliably.
