Hitachi Travelstar 7K320 320GB 7200rpm SATA Notebook Drive Now Shipping! - Harbourmaster - 05-09-2008
The 9.5mm high 2.5-inch Travelstar 7K320 bests its year-old 7,200rpm predecessor with an additional 120GB of capacity. Hitachi also claims an application performance gain of 12 per cent, and reduced power consumption by 22 per cent.
Power specs are: 1.8W read/write power and 0.2W standby power.
The drive connects across a SATA 3Gb/s interface, or alternatively 1.5Gb/s in models featuring on-board automatic data encryption technology.

The only out and out hard drive failure I've ever had was the stock Hitachi in my MDD.
Not counting my Maxtor that's been giving SMART failure messages for months but seems OK otherwise.

You do realize of course that you just jinxed the Maxtor. Back up now.

It's "shipping" but doesn't seem to be available for purchase anywhere yet....

Thanks. It hadn't occured to me to back up. Do you really think that's necessary?
I mean, I'm sure I will get a more final warning when it;s really about to go, won't I?

I thought the drive in your brand new MacBook failed shortly after you got it.

I've been curious about this 400GB, 2.5" drive for a couple of weeks now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822241020

...I might just have to break down and get it and see what is under the hood.

22% less power. Now that's a big deal.
