Western Digital jumps into the hybrid hard drive market with both feet. Western Digital’s hybrid hard drive is a slim 2.5-inch SSHD designed for Ultrabooks and other thin devices. However, Western Digital is not ditching traditional hard drives. SSHD will be marketed as part of WD’s Black Series, while plain HDDs will be sold under the Blue brand. Both are just 5mm slim and they should fit even the skinniest ultrabook designs out there. Western Digital had to cut a few corners to make the drives so slender. Both use a proprietary edge connector, which delivers power and a traditional SATA interface in a slimmer package. In addition, the drives only seem to come in one size, 500GB.
