Anyone heard the new Hitachi 7K320 notebook HDD?

Hi all,

My local tech just told me that Hitachi have recently released a new range of notebook HDDs, the 7K320. These have up to 320GB, but the 250 and 320GB versions have 2 platters. Link: 7K320 specs pdf.

Has anyone heard one of these?

The declared power consumption infos (2,2W seek, 1,8W read/write), are excellent. Now an average 250/320GB WD/Samsung 5400RPM drive consumes about 3-3,5W during seek.

If the price also good it's will be a successful drive. One of the best notebook hard disk drive in terms of performance/power consumption ratio.
