I see at the Apple Store I can custom order a MBP with a 120GB (5400 RPM) drive (and you can also up to a 7200 rpm if you stay at 100GB ). Seeing as I'm only using about 88 out of 250 GB, a 100 to 120 GB drive may be big enough for me. But I still like to have some breathing room.

I keep hearing here and there about big advances in laptop HD sizes; so when are we going to see them available to order? I'd like a 160 to 250 GB 2.5" drive in that MBP.

I see this at OWC, so maybe there's hope for my MBP desires:

Stick around 3 or 4 years. I guarantee larger drives by that time.

Didn't you hear, Zoidy?



TUESDAY!!!



But seriously, look back in time and plot out the advances to get a better idea. For instance, 6gb hd was standard with my Pismo in what, spring of '00? From there, drive sizes blew up very large, very quickly. I'd guess...within a year we'll see 200gb on high-end laptops.

I predict 3Ghz Hard Drives within one year.

160GB available now in the aftermarket.

Fujitsu just announced 200GB by the end of the year.

just delete some pr0n, problem solved.

Actually you need a SATA 2.5" drive in the MacBook Pro or Intel mini.
