Bill, I'll definitely need at least one for my TP600 when they come
out! Maybe two. Or three, if you can give me a good price on the
external UltraSlimBay adapter and another HDD adapter. ;)

Out of interest, what would this density translate into, for my
12.7mm? If it were 75gig for a 700 series TP, I'd say 54gig (the
usual ratio, i.e. 25->18gig), but I don't know the size of a
Deskstar.

Thanks!
