its not just you. Seagate is usually the driving force behind all the HDD stuff or at least a motivator. These are some nice looking products and if the price is right, that 250 GB HDD 2.5"er could be in my ps3 in a few weeks.

Yeah, perpendicular drives and SSD's....big new tech.

As far as these drives, 250 GB@ 5400 rpm on the mobile side is great. Also hardware level encryption is always good to.
