Verbatim has announced a new line of 2.5" portable hard drives, including the world's first half-terabyte 2.5" drive featuring an industry standard 9.5mm Z-height drive.

These new external drives allow consumers and businesses to add from 120 to 500GB removable capacity to their computer.

Weighing 170 grams and measuring only 86mm x 137mm x 16mm, Verbatim's 500GB 2.5" SmartDisk HDD is easy to carry when traveling with a laptop and requires minimal desk space when connected to a desktop system.

Inside its rugged case there are three 166 GB platters that utilize advanced Perpendicular Magnetic Recording (PMR) technology to deliver breakthrough storage capacity in a small form factor. To optimize performance, the drive features a 5400rpm spindle speed and includes 8MB of cache memory.

Being able to add half a Terabyte of storage to your PC or Mac with such a small, easy to carry device is a new milestone in the portable storage industry," said Ramesh Tuli the Country Manager for Verbatim India. "Imagine the convenience of being able to store, transport and backup all of your digital content without having to span disks or carry multiple storage solutions."

The 500GB drive will be available later in 2008. Pricing is not known yet.
