1TB Mobile Hard Drives Now Available from Western Digital
If you need to carry around lots of data on your laptop then Western Digital has just expanded your horizons a bit. Western Digital now has 75GB and 1 terabyte models available under the Scorpio Blue moniker for you to install in your laptop. The 2.5 inch drives sell for $190 for the 750GB size and $250 for the 1TB.
If you’d rather got the external drive route, you can find the same capacities running $199 for 750GB and $299 for 1TB, using the My Passport Essential SE label.
Both offer Western Digital’s WhisperDrive, ShockGuard, and SecurePark technologies.

Before anyone gets too excited about upgrading, this drive uses a 12.5mm height, as opposed to the more standard 9.5mm. This puts some people, like me, out of luck. I know 3mm doesn’t sound like a lot, but I’ve swapped my tablet hard drive a few times and the 9.5mm height fits precisely with no room to spare. Be sure to check your height clearance.
