400 and 500 GB on 2.5” from WD Posted on 16/09/2008 at 08:39 by Marc
Western Digital has put two new 2.5” drives on the market, at 400 and 500 GB. The WD Scorpio Blue at 5400 rpm has an SATA 3GB/s interface and comes in at a recommended retail price of $190 for the 400 GB version.
Where the Western steals a march on, say, a Travelstar 5K500, is with its second platter, with up to 250 GB per platter. With this sort of density, it won’t be long before 500 GB 3.5” drives start to appear on the market!
