    Not to mention that WD's product page for the drive lists it at 5 200RPM. :mad:

    Don't waste your money guys, wait for that Hitachi 5K750 that was rumored awhile ago.

    It would fit in 5920G just fine, well at least after a little peeling on the back panel. Now it has some rails and stuffs in order to secure the 9,5mm drive in its position. Anyway, I'll wait for more competition (price drop, more choices and etc.) :)
