Has anyone been able to find the new 500 gig lappy hard drives for sale anywhere or any tests on them? I can't find them for sale anywhere even though they're supposedly available.

thanks

They where just shipped to OEM's this past week, so we should be seeing them for the mainstream soon.

The only thing I found on the drive is the specs, which look good. Also out of the 3 manufacturers that have 500GB drives Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Samsung only the Samsung will fit inside a MB/MBP. Samsungs drive is 9.5mm where the Hitachi and Fujitsu are 12.5mm.

I'll try to look for info as well and post back here.
