<p>Remember the days when mobile drives were considered large in 40-80GB flavors? Undoubtedly some of our faithful readers are thinking "I remember when you could class them by megabyte!" So how does a <a href="http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/03/hitachi_tips_500gb_laptop_drive/">500GB mobile drive</a> grab you?</p>
<p>It boasts three platters, six read/write heads, and connects across a SATA link in 1.5Gb/s and 3.0GB/s. Unfortunately, the drive is limited to 5400RPM, but we fear the world would explode if such a large mobile drive <i>also</i> exhibited proper performance.</p>
