What's kinda funny is that IBM is pushing this as equipment for servers. Meanwhile we're sitting here raving about running DVDs off the harddrive and holding 6 months worth of MP3s. Looks like IBMs marketing department needs to loosen up
In addition, the new products are the first IBM desktop drives to use load/unload technology. This feature parks the recording heads off the disk surface when not in use, dramatically increasing the amount of shock the drive can handle when not in use. This is kind of a minor issue, but on my old 286, there is a command that does the same thing
If slashdot just heard the RedHat dropped the expo, it's likely that other possible sponsors just heard. In a few days we'll probably see a bunch of people competing to sponsor.

Yeah, get two disks, it's probably cheaper anyway.
