I read the announcements for the new HDD's and if my memory is correct,
whenever volume is promised for, the flow will be to DELL, et al., not

the 25gig took a long time to filter down and i suspect so will the newer
drives..
ALSO, there was talk (last century) of a 43gig drive, in a 17mm formfactor..
