First Hitachi, then Seagate and Toshiba, now it looks like Fujitsu's hopped on the
perpendicular drive recording bandwagon (dude, that
flash movie is obviously having a seriously profound
effect on the tech industry), announcing plans for a 200GB 2.5-inch drive by early 2007. Funny, we assumed we'd be
seeing 200GB 2.5-inch drives any day now anyhow, can't you at least try and totally blow us away with some
vaporware hyperbole, guys?

So is this going to be any faster than traditional hard drives. Slow Speeds from current Hard Drive platters are the biggest bottleneck to performance these days.
Surprise.
I was first!
"cant you at least try and totally blow us away with some vaporware hyperbole, guys?"
Best line _ever_
"First" - is that really necessary? You're an idiot.
What's up with using "dude" in a news posting? I realize you guys aren't trying to be CNN, but really, come on.
Not even first and with a message like that... Thats pretty sad.
If you're looking for speed i think MS and someone else are making a "hybrid" drive (or some similarly stupid name) that features a gig of flash memory to act as another cache. I thought that seemed like a pretty good idea in theory.... But only if the drive could predict what you needed before you needed it (or when loading something large like a video):P
