Clicky - Samsung will be moving to *gasp* three platters, with up to 133GB on each, for a new flagship capacity of 400GB. Hopefully this move will not impact Samsung's reputation for near silent operation - they state that maintaining silent operation is one of their design goals. If the wait for this unit is as long as P120, don't get in any all-fired hurry. Nevertheless, it is good to see Samsung trying to stay competitive on capacity.
 
I'm glad to see that.
The more competing products that come out, the more prices will drop.
Whee.
 
Is there something different about this one? I see on Newegg there are 5 hardrives in the 400Gb and bigger ones than that. Or is the density a big deal, "three platters, with up to 133GB on each"
 
This is huge news from Samsung. All past SpinPoint drives had had a maximum of two platters.
