I saw that recently, WD released a new hard drive being advertised as 2.5 inch and having 6TB of space. I wonder has anyone purchased this drive, if so, can you show the internal connector? I really want to know if this exact hard drive has a normal 2.5 SATA port or some proprietary garbage.

My main laptop is the HP 8770W which has two extra deep SATA ports, which are currently filled with two 4TB 15MM thick Seagate hard drives that I removed ("shucked") from their plastic adapter shells. I really need to find out if this new WD 6TB drive has a normal SATA port because I want to upgrade the storage in my laptop again. If anyone knows about this drive, please let me know, very big thanks.

Here's a picture of the new WD 6TB 2.5 hard drive:

I'm also aware that Samsung makes 8TB SATA SSDs but those are just ungodly expensive, they will remain out of my budget for a long time.
