Yes, the Caviar RE2 series.  I mentioned exactly that in my
previous post.  The RE2 are 1.2M, the RE are 1.0M.  ;->

Also what I've been saying repeatedly.  ;->

If these are the "enterprise" versions of their "commodity
capacity" drives, and offering 1.0+M, then the standard
OEM/desktop rated models of the exact same capacity/technical
specifications that come off the same line aren't over 1.0M.

That has been my continuous point.  ;->

[ Again, the current NL35 are enterprise-rated Barracuda
7200.8, the Caviar RE are enterprise-rated Caviar SE.  The
RE2 are the 16MB Caviar SE versions. ]
