The gained space is now used for a third platter holding another 500GB of data. The result is a small, snuggly fitting HDD that delivers lots of space to Notebook users who cannot fit a 12 or 15mm drive into their notebook. I wonder when 7mm drives with 1TB will become available and spend netbooks the often needed space as SSDs still are outrageously expensive at such capacities (mostly around 1&#8217;000 US$ and more!)<\/p>\n<p>Since WD has also brought out 5mm high 500GB HDDs, the next step for HDD&#8217;s can&#8217;t be so far. And once again Western Digital has proven, that HDDs aren&#8217;t at their EOL! There&#8217;s always another improvement possible.<\/p>\n<p>I like that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the demand for more and more data space is ever so high, HGST and Western Digital seem to have an answer for that issue also.
