WD's new 9.5mm Scorpio Blue 1TB laptop hard drive

Western Digital Came out with the 1TB 9.5mm internal hard drive for laptops recently...



What's really surprising is, although it is a 5400RPM hard drive, benchmarks showed that despite its massive size it actually outperforms the smaller size 500GB Western Digital Scorpio BLACK which runs at a faster speed of 7200RPM!

WOW! 

With an RRP of USD$99 - this is a GRRRREAT upgrade for those who are still stuck with their stock 250GB/320GB hard drives, as it gives a substantial extra storage capacity and also speed boost at the same time - at a really great price! Of course you wont get the ultra-fast Solid-State-Drive speed, but for $99 everyone who needs the extra space should really upgrade now!
