This seems to be confusing. I saw Fry's ad for today (Apr 20) in San Jose MErcury News,
and it advertises a Maxtor 600Gb ATA/133 hdd for $65.

Last I heard was that the maximum ATA disk size was 300Gb and not more.
Can anybody confirm if there are 600Gb ATA disks ? If yes then this is avery sweet deal.
If not then Fry;s is pulling our leg.

there are, but they're external from the likes of LaCie (I think) and others. Not sure the technology in there, but I wouldn't be surprised if they just combined two 500GBers. Either way, no way in hell is there a 600GB drive for $60. I'd buy every one in site and set me up a little eBay business in no time.

Probably supposed to say "60.0". For some reason, on sites like Best Buy that is how Seagate hard drives were listed. Kind of strange since 60 GB is an approximation to begin with.

Who needs 600GB anyway? I still use 64K of RAM.

Hey man, according to Bill Gates he says thats all that we will ever need, or was it 640K. O well.
