    WD intros standard-height 2.5-inch 750GB Scorpio Blue HDD

    Western Digital already shipped the industry's first 2.5-inch 1TB hard drive last summer, but unfortunately for most, it couldn't be used as a drop-in solution for upgrading one's laptop drive. The reason? It relies on an unorthodox 12.5mm height form factor, while the vast majority of laptops only support 9.5mm height drives. Now, the outfit has pushed out a 750GB Scorpio Blue, a 2.5-incher that does indeed utilize the standard height form factor, and while this here unit includes Advanced Format and WhisperDrive, the 5,400RPM spindle speed is admittedly disappointing. It's tough to argue with the $149 price, though, and it's available now if you've been hankering for more space within your mobile workhorse.

    I'll stick with my 500GB....I don't think I'll need to upgrade til they bring out a 2TB.

    So, 750GB....no thanks...

    Yeah im on 320Gb for 2 years now plus external HD of 200GB so happy enough. I think with the new Slim devices with 250GB theres no need really..

    Have to say I'm happily surprised by the price. Don't need one like, but with my 1.5TB HD looking like it'll be full in ~6 months I may consider it.
