WD Scorpio Black in 500gb

I would really like to get a 500gb drive for my laptop, I only trust WD, and would like the enhanced specs of the scorpio black (7200rpm, larger cache, etc) over the blue. Is this drive in the works? Im tempted to buy a 7200rpm hitatchi off of newegg that has good reviews but I have had all WD drives until now and not one failure so Im pretty loyal at this point. any news on if this is gunnahappen?

I agree. 320 is just borderline big enough now-a-days. 500 meg is like the minimum to be useful. Tried other drives and they just don’t last. I’d really like a WD 7200 for my laptop - either 500 or 640gig.

Actually, I’d like two - one for my laptop and one for my backup drive.
