    I thought the 200GB drives for notebooks were supposed to arrive at the end of August. Well, it's now nearing the middle of October and still nothing is out. Does anyone know when these are actually showing up? I'm dying to get more drive space in my notebook, but I don't want to upgrade to 160gb drive if 200gb is around the corner.

    I assume they're already available at least to some degree. The Toshiba P105 currently features a 200GB 4200rpm HD, and has for a couple of months now I think. Dell also offers a 200GB HD (they don't specify rotation speed but I assume also 4200rpm) as a configurable option on some of their laptops.
