Western Digital has started shipping the world's first ultra-slim hard drive and its solid-state hybrid drive counterpart, PC Magazine has reported. The new 'WD Blue' hard drive and 'WD Black SSHD' were designed for integration into the slimmest of devices, and provide a compromise for developers who often sacrifice capacity, physical size, or performance. Both drives sport the same 2.5", 5mm physique and weigh up to 36% less than the standard 9.5mm drive. With 500GB of storage, the drives fit into smaller devices, while also boosting storage capacity, said WD.
