moxa1, hasn't EDIG use the travelstar HHD ?
Considering that this is now made by Hitachi, and that they are already they are making a 1.8 HDD, wouldn't it seem reasonable to think their new 1.8 is an option for a smaller form factor along with the Toshiba 1.8 HDD ? Does EDIG really need to wait until June for Toshiba and Apple to end their exclusive deal (though it's really not that far off) ?
"IBM, which sold its money-losing hard disk drive manufacturing unit to Hitachi last year, has said it will be the first manufacturer to use the 7,200-rpm drives in its ThinkPad notebook line, slated to come out later this year."
Hopefully the HHD market will only continue to drop in price as competition mounts, making EDIG's costs that much less.
We shall see.
