Continuing to slap its competitors with new storage capacity records, Western Digital has now announced two new Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch hard drives, one boasting 750GB of space and one topping 1TB. Coming in a rather non-standard 12.5mm thick form factor, the new drives make use of 333GB platters, have a SATA 3.0 Gbps interface, and feature technologies like WhisperDrive, ShockGuard, and SecurePark, which enable a quiet and safe operation.

According to Western Digital, the 750GB model (WD7500KEVT) is now available for $190, while the 1TB drive (WD10TEVT) goes for $250, but, at least for now, it will only be found within the new My Passport Essential USB-connected portable HDDs. The high-capacity Scorpio Blue drives are backed by a three-year warranty. Tech Connect
