Saw that too. (actually, 15k.5...)
The problem is that I've always preferred capacity over speed.
750GB 7200.10 vs. 73GB 15K.5 for the same price...yeah, I'll take 10x the
storage any day.
The sad thing is that the real place where these drives will be primarily
used (servers) take almost no advantage of the insane STR they offer.
