Western Digital's new 300GB 10K drive is queued up at NowDirect.com for $270+S&H

Twice the size of the current Raptor ($170 at Newegg).

I'd love to pick up a couple of these puppies myself.

Just thought I'd post in case anyone else was interested.

I was impressed with these Memoright SSD drives:

Unfortunately, the price isn't right. The 32 GB version costs about US$1000!
