    Just a simple question, has probably been asked a million times, and always will be asked. I tried searching, but with no luck, so I'll ask.

    At the moment, what is the largest 2.5 inch, 9.5mm hard drive on the market, that is currently available? For a while I thought WD started shipping 1 TB's, but I realized these are 12.5 mm or whatever.

    What about within the next 6 months? (I'm talking strictly 9.5 mm hard drives keep in mind)

    Thanks a lot guys

    cheers ...

    I believe the largest right now is the 640GB Seagate.
