Never again run out of space for your X-10 video stream of the neighbor's house! See the graphic, specs, and press release. This also marks the release of WD drives using fluid dynamic bearings rather than the old BB type." The glorious march of technology continues forward, and digital video fans rejoice.

    Maybe the platters are smaller and smaller as they go up, forming a stylish cone. Leaving 200 gigs, no 240...

    What I want to know is how they made a 200GB hard drive with 60GB platters. Doesn't seem to add up.

    Easy. Large values of 60 or small values of 200.

    I've probably got enough hard drive space to last me another 5 years

    Or until you *finally* decide to upgrade Windows...
