I could do wth a 160gb hard disk and currently have a 80gb ibm - whiney as hell and gets hot - though not as bad as my 20gb maxtor at 5400rpm. Anyway found this and was wondering if anyone had one yet, also it may be worth waiting til u can get them before buying anyone elses hard disk.

I don't even know if these will be available soon?

Also, upon reading the specs, the item that popped out was the fact that the 7200.7 drives with the 8meg caches had 3 year warranties. The 2meg cache drives only have 1 year.
