    I am trying to gather the components for a Z96J self build purchase and have done some extensive searching (newegg, ewiz, excaliberPC, zipzoomfly, mwave and some others) for a Hitachi 80GB 7200 rpm SATA 2.5" drive. No one has them in stock and (NewEgg doesn't even list it as an item any more). The 100GB 7200 rpm SATA's are also nearly impossible to find. Is there a shortage? Or is Hitachi doing away with this model for some reason?
