After being the first to release a 1TB desktop hard drive, Western Digital is at it again with the release of the first 1TB 2.5-inch mobile hard drive.
The drive, known as the Scorpio Blue 1TB, will be accompanied by a smaller 750GB brother as well. These are both already shipping to retailers, and will run you for $189.99 (750GB) and $249.99 (1TB).
Now, it should be noted that this isn’t truly the first drive of this size, given that pureSilicion released a 1TB SSD of this form factor, but kudos to WD on releasing the first 1TB HDD measuring only 2.5-inches.

I think it goes without saying that 1 TB is no where near an adequate size for porn collections these days. I mean seriously.. These engineers need to start working overtime so my wrist can stop working overtime to the same stuff.

i was so excited too finally able to stop throwing my 1tb mybook into my bag would have been nice. must admit though i did consider the possibility that i could use duct tape to hold it in and i think it would work but that would look pretty sloppy i guess.

WD wasn't the first to release a desktop Terabyte hard drive...Hitachi did that with the Deskstar 71Kwhatever.

...That this isn't a 9.5mm standard hard drive. It's a 12mm height; therefore, can't be used in laptops, and so slightly less important of a message.
