The Hitachi 7K100 (7200 RPM 100gig 2.5" hard drive) is supposed to be
shipping.

Anyone seen them for sale and in stock anywhere yet?

Yeah, there's a 40G 7K60 as well. Dunno if it's a way to get around
yield problems or just ship a less expensive drive, but you gotta
watch out.

Beware of the E7K100; it's intended for blades and servers and doesn't
implement the active idle and low power idle modes.

Some vendors were trying to sell the E7K60 for laptop use too.

I'd watch CDW, NewEgg, and ZipZoomFly. Let us know what you find, I
was looking for one, but got a Seagate 100G 5400RPM drive from NewEgg
for $170 when my 7K60 blew up after 14 months of service.

I got a Toshiba MK1032GAX 100 gb 5400 RPM drive a couple months ago. It
has a 16 mb cache.
