oo caviar black. lol. why is it black ?

Oops, I just found out that Caviar GP series also has 32MB cache.

zy: black is the the model name, it's not because the drive is physically black.

Nevermind, I'll wait

According to lacus they will not be bringing in Black because they are too expensive like RM600+

Maybe I will just get a WD 640GB and be happy
