The WD Blue hard drive family, in capacities from 320 GB to 1 TB in 7 mm height, is compatible with 9.5 mm drive slots of mainstream notebooks.

"Users with large portfolios of content no longer need to sacrifice capacity when buying an ultrabook or upgrading to a thin and light notebook," said Matt Rutledge, vice president and general manager for client storage products at WD. "This most compact 1TB hard drive to-date offers manufacturers of systems an upsell path for their customers who will now be able to choose systems offering both sleek design and high capacity.

It features dual stage actuators to improve positional accuracy over the data track. The primary actuator provides coarse displacement using conventional electromagnetic actuator principles. The secondary actuator uses piezoelectric motion to fine tune the head positioning to a higher degree of accuracy.

"Intel is introducing its fourth-generation Intel Core processor family (codenamed Haswell) to deliver faster and more efficient performance to both desktop and notebook platforms, with significant gains benefitting portable systems" said Roger Bradford, capabilities marketing manager at Intel.

The new 1 TB WD Blue 7 mm 2.5-inch mobile hard drive comes with two-year limited warranty for Rs 7,500. Its 320GB and 500GB variants come for Rs 3,150 and Rs 3,600 respectively.
