Western Digital on Monday released its new 1-Tbyte and 750-Gbyte WD Scorpio Blue 2.5-inch internal SATA hard drives.

Both drives are in the 12.5-mm form factor, so they will fit in notebooks and small form factor desktops. The new 1TB capacity doubles the 500GB capacity that had become the large capacity standard for 2.5-inch hard drives. They also deliver a high performance 3GB per second transfer rate, but i still doubt.

The 750GB WD Scorpio Blue internal drive is available now for $189.99 and the 1TB version will be available for a $249.99.

Both can be purchased as external USB 2.0 drives as part of WD’s Passport Essential SE line for $299.99 (1TB) and $199.99 (750GB). They have WD features like WhisperDrive for quiet use, drop resistant ShockGuard, and SecurePark for more shock tolerance.

The internal and external drives show that users are still clamoring for more and more storage, especially with the prevalence of smartphones and digital cameras that can capture video. These drives mean that you don’t have to forego insane amounts of storage just because you have a laptop.

Because of the current price point, and since the drive is 12.5mm, it’s unlikely you’ll see them in netbooks, but you may eventually see them in high-end nettops, or more likely in small form factor systems like the Apple Mac mini. and wonder if this can be used to upgrade our nettops with a limit factor in the hardware side.

(AP) — Microsoft Corp. has taken the rare step of warning about a serious computer security vulnerability it hasn’t fixed yet.

The vulnerability disclosed Monday affects Internet Explorer users whose computers run the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating software.

It can allow hackers to remotely take control of victims’ machines. The victims don’t need to do anything to get infected except visit a Web site that’s been hacked.

Security experts say criminals have been attacking the vulnerability for nearly a week. Thousands of sites have been hacked to serve up malicious software that exploits the vulnerability. People are drawn to these sites by clicking a link in spam e-mail.

The so-called “zero day” vulnerability disclosed by Microsoft affects a part of its software used to play video. The problem arises from the way the software interacts with Internet Explorer, which opens a hole for hackers to tunnel into.

Microsoft urged vulnerable users to disable the problematic part of its software, which can be done from Microsoft’s Web site, while the company works on a “patch” – or software fix – for the problem.

Microsoft rarely departs from its practice of issuing security updates the second Tuesday of each month. When the Redmond, Wash.-based company does issue security reminders at other times, it’s because the vulnerabilities are very serious.

A recent example was the emergency patch Microsoft issued in October for a vulnerability that criminals exploited to infect millions of PCs with the Conficker worm. While initially feared as an all-powerful doomsday device, that network of infected machines was eventually used for mundane moneymaking schemes like sending spam and pushing fake antivirus software.
