Smallest 1TB HD Ever: Losing your data has never been easier!

[Glutenfree4u]

Hello all,

Western Digital has just released the world’s smallest 1 TB hard drive at just 7mm thick, it is the world’s smallest 1 TB Hard Drive… But who wants their data on a HD that is 7mm thick?

That article illustrates the writer's ignorance. The drive is intended to be used in new, thinner laptops, not as a stand-alone device. For a more intelligent article:

Those hard drives are used in the WD MyPassport Edge (and Seagate Slim), but with a different connector and it's only a matter of time until they show with enclosures:

There isn't even a difference between those drives and 9.5mm ones, other that they shaved 2.5mm. I wouldn't be surprised if they ship with a 9.5mm adapter like SSDs and don't release a 9.5mm 1TB drive at all (HGST announced a WD Blue-esque 9.5mm 1.5TB drive already).

Do we have to compress our files? Perhaps resize our photos?

Just kidding also.
