Will we EVER get a 2.5" 7K100 drive?

[RonS]

I've been waiting over two years for a 7K100 notebook drive (7200RPM, 100GB). Hitatchi has announced them. When will we be able to actually buy one?

There is a 100gb 7200rpm SATA/IDE drive out on Seagate's website:

Heres the actual drive:

Seagate's drives SHOULD be available for purchase in June.
No word on Hitachi's yet; my guess is that since they announced the 7K100 later, it won't show up till Q3-ish.

Dear Sir,

Thankyou for your email.

I would not expect the Travelstar 7K100 to be available at the reseller
level until next quarter.

Best regards
