WD Blue ultra-slim 2.5-inch, 5 mm hard drive. MSRP: s$119.
With 500 GB of storage capacity and models with high performance-enabling solid state hybrid drive technology, this slim product line strikes a fine balance between capacity, physical size and performance.
WD Blue UltraSlim
WD designed the new WD Blue and WD Black 5 mm drives to enable new levels of device portability.
