    Western Digital list their scorpion blue range as now including the new 1tb version.

    However there seems to be a strange absence of any reviews/benchmarks or even shops selling it. Every shop that even mentions it says they are out of stock.

    Is this product available or is it a figment of Western Digitals Imagination?

    Only ES available, no MP, but even ES is hard to find.

    Actually the new 1tb drives are being shipped with some of the newer systems.. albeit very high end systems, but they're shipping. I believe the last one I saw either had a GTX360m or a HD5870 or something..
