Engadget reports that Hitachi has developed a new 500GB 2.5" hard disk that will allow for more beefed up laptops.
The downside is they had to add an additional plate to achieve that, resulting in an increase in drive thickness from 9.5mm to 12.5mm.
This is still a smart move, they wouldn't develop it without demand for such a product, and it's still far way from the bulkiness of a desktop drive.
The models are the 5K500 and the E5K500 and will be used in Asus M50 and M70 laptops, which will also allow for the use of two drives, breaking the magical 1TB barrier in laptops.
