    Starting today, 160GB and 200GB HDDS (7200's) will be SATAII from Seagate or Hitachi and other brands depending on supply availability.

    SATA III ..?!?.. I do not think so.

    Even SATA-II or SATA-I notebook drives do not use that transfer rate.

    The bottleneck of notebook drives is the 7200rpm... which keeps the notebook around the 100MB/s area.... never past the 150MB/s (which is SATA-I)... let alone the 300MB/s (SATA-II).

    So this should not be a concern to new notebook buyers as long as the notebook has a current 7200rpm HDD, then its good. :)

    I think you are getting confused with SATA II 300 vs SATA 150. :) These drives are SATA II 300. SATA III drives have never been offered anywhere as far as I am aware of.

    SATA 150Mbytes/sec
    SATA II 300Mbytes/sec
    SATA III 600Mbytes/sec

    This is very good news Justin. Do you know if these are the 16MB Cashe versions?

    Changing gears a little, are you going to get the 9262 and post any thing on it?

    Hitachi has the 16MB versions available in 160GB and 200GB. Seagate at this time only has the 16MB in the 200GB Size.
