These new 1 TB Western Digital Drives fit many current laptops just fine, and new laptops will be configured to handle them. Western Digital does warn of the now non-standard thickness of 12.5mm, like the older Thinkpad hard drives, so a drop-in upgrade won't be possible for all laptops. <http://www.techspot.com/news/35593-western-digital-unveils-1tb-25inch-notebook-drive.html#>users – Western Digital is initially offering these up in their My Passport Essential SE portable USB drives. The duo come with anti-shock protection and promise extremely low noise levels in operation thanks to its WhisperDrive technology. The 750 GB's fit ok in a T-65. This is too big of an announcement for failure so WD is careful on its release.
I think Western Digital had to get them out to temper the noise of the new SSD's which are capable of many different sizes. This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last. ... .... ..... ...... .......
