I still hope the Mobile side gets better selection of hard drives 250Gb would be pretty sweet but chances are its going to cost me a kidney.
well theres only 1 reason why god gave us 2 kidneys instead of one....
As far as these drives, 250 GB@ 5400 rpm on the mobile side is great. Also hardware level encryption is always good to.
