    exactly, I've spent almost 1 hour researching where to get it in the last couple of weeks (giving it a try each week;-) to pair with my SSD and throw out blue scorpio (a bit dissapointed), but AFAIK "they" are selling only 320GB version - which is pointless (I need it mostly for data).

    if it's alright with you, "unknown" company (InsightUK) with not-so-stellar rating is able to deliver it to you in about 3-5 days:
    Hitachi Travelstar Z5K500 HTS545032A7E380 0J11283 | Insight UK

    what is even worse, no storagereview/anandtech/tomshardware/etc... or anywhere else on the net, although I think I saw them being used in external USB enclosures and being sold as a thin external HDDs, could be a solution to buy it like that ;-)
