Actually I was wondering that for the extra 20 bucks the space and speed might be worth it

The 640G drive it is

EDIT: And I meant liquid not water lol

For me, it is worth it. Hehe.. because I need a LOT of storage space.

Yupe.. Adrian spill the beans .. 640GB has the highest density per platter in the market which is the 320GB/platter so there are 2 platter in there.
There are 3 versions of these, the blue, green and black. The blue is the regular, the black is 32MB dual-processor while the green is intellipower

So choose your pick but I am not sure all are in market yet..
