They fit either 2 or 3 platters 1.5TB in a standard 9.5" form factor 2.5" notebook factor and at 5400rpm claims to be super quiet 2.5 bels 1.5 watts active 0.5 watts idle.

"The two platter drive boasts 694Gb per square inch"

I'm wondering is it possible for pmr to reach 1 tb/inch?

since there is a 2TB-limit for booting, i'd prefer the drive at 9.5mm tall reach 2TB
