Geeee Fujitsu Shipped them too ! Come on guy ! Please READ before jumping like this ! Fujitsu a couple of week announced their 500GB 2.5HDD (start selling and shipping) then 1 week before that Buffalo was annoncing their new 2.5" 500GB HDD, which are NOW in store across Japan... So please READ BEFORE POSTING and make an idiot of yourself !

The Hitachi has a non standard height(12mm) which means that it won't fit in every laptops or enclosures whereas the Samsung use the regular 9mm one which means that Samsung is more right in their statement that Hitachi ^^

Bullshit indeed...Samsung announced this drive long ago, and it is in fact the first shipping 500gb notebook drive in the industry standard 9.5mm height (not the 12mm height which doesn\\\'t fit many notebooks). Why call the first commenter an idiot, Daimaou? Insulting your readers will only earn you ire, especially when you\\\'re WRONG! I think you owe someone an apology.

Ok so here it is... you can buy 500GB HDD from Fujitsu in Japan since 3 weeks now, and Samsung annonce that they start shipping their HDD... (Hdd they announced in Januray 2008 but did not shipped yet)... I have the choice of buying since 3 weeks a Fujitsu HDD and wait that Samsung finish its HDD shipment to buy one.... Yeah... wonderful !

Ok, somethings shipping. Where can I buy one? I\'d prefer the Spinpoint, but the Toshiba A135 series laptops has an extra 3mm in the drive caddy and should be able to accept the larger drives. So basic question, where can one be purchased?
