    Anyone know if/when SATA compatibility might be available for the W3V. I want to buy the new Seagate drive (100GB) but want to make sure that it will be compatible, and would rather not settle for the parallel version. Thanks for the help.

    I don't understand about the socket case that is supposed to hold a second hard drive or battery. Do we need some kind of interface adoptor from Asus in order install a drive?

    every battery and optical drive we've ever had for m2/m3/m6/z71v(m7)/ w3 ... all weight just about the same. If you hold one in each hand, you couldn't tell which is heavier....

    Thanks,
