When will the 60gxp be able to be in my hands?

[Syborg1211]

I searched the forums for 60gxp and only returned 3 results, I found no release date. So when can I get it?

I don't really see a difference between the 75GXP and the 60GXP...?

Higher Max. areal density (Gbits/sq. inch) 11.0 (for the GXP75) vs. 15.3 (for the GXP60). This should translate into faster sustained throughput (40.8MB/s vs. 37.3MB/s for the GXP75). 10% faster throughput is worth something. It's also extremely quiet - IBM claims that it's the quietest 7200rpm hard drive. It is definitely an improvement over the GXP75, but I'm not sure that, if I needed a hard drive now, I would wait for the GXP60.

According to this IBM press release here
It should be shipping now. So, presumably you should be able to buy them in volume later in Jan.

Pricewatch has nothing on the 60gxp. Update on date anyone?

Hard drive manufactueres tend to jump the gun on product releases. I remeber when getting a 75gxp was like pulling teeth. I would think they would be available in early march. Just a guess though.
