Any 9.5 mm 1 TB drives coming soon?

Thread Starter 
I opened my Dell Precision M6500, and it seems it can't use one of those 12.5 mm 1 TB drives that are around now. I tried to google it, but didn't really find any info. Does anybody here know if there will be 1 TB 9 mm drives any time soon? I have seen the 750 GB 9 mm WD7500BPVT, but I would really like 1 TB, so I can bring my complete music collection with me (inside an encrypted volume) at all times.

It would not surprise me if a 1TB standard notebook hard drive came out by the end of this year.

I read something not too long ago about a new way to do platter storage which would increase disk space.

I guess there's always new stuff coming out. So I'll get the largest drive that will fit for now (750 gig) and hope and wait for the next, best thing.

Good way to go.

My M11X has a 500GB HDD and for now it's more than enough as I put my music library on there (only 178GB)

As a retired DJ (not retired generally, only from the DJ bussines) I have a rather large collection, well over 100 000 tracks, which is why it takes some space...

100,000 is a good size collection. Mine is only 46,000 songs, but that's not including the iPod which has another 40GB.

Yeah, I'm quite proud of it. Of course there's this guy on another forum I'm on that has well over 200K, but he's totally crazy...

My friend used to work for a radio station that has since went off the air. They allowed him to copy a good majority of the music, and he allowed me to copy it.

Sneaky! Without all those pesky P2P and similar programs...almost like an analogue pirate!

Not really- they were going off the air and since he was the head IT guy, they gave him a going away gift.

I guess you could say I'm the pirate.
