    I was wondering this too and posted a question here:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=235479

    As you can see, I didn't really get the answer I was looking for.

    ZipZoomFly has it listed, but you can't buy it yet. Looks like you can buy the 160GB version though. I want one for my MacBook Pro. Let me know if you see it somewhere...

    FYI, looks like ZipZoomFly has it now available for $184.99.

    Still waiting for the price to fall....down to like $140-150...

    How is it any different from any of the other 320 gb 5400 rpm drives :confused:. The WD Scorpio at newegg is already $150 (link)
