Samsung first with 2.5"500GB drive

At CES, Samsung has unveiled the new Spinpoint M6, the world's first 2.5 inch hard drive with a 500GB capacity. It's made up of three separate 166GB platters, but the three fit together to be just 9.5 mm tall, so it can fit into any number of different devices without causing a particular size challenge. The Spinpoint M6 has a 5400 rpm spindle speed, an 8MB and a 3.0Gbps

Sounds kool!
