Laptop hard drives are great, because they are so much easier to shoplift. I mean, you can put a 3.5-inch drive in your pants, but those little 2.5-inch jobs go in a front pocket, or even behind a wallet. Seriously, it’s like digging up dead babies and candying them. Fujitsu would like you to know that they’ll be making a new, higher capacity 120GB version very soon. They didn’t mention how fast it was going to be, but I’d expect 4200RPM at best, or maybe 5400 if we’re lucky. If you’re the kind of person who replaces laptop hard drives with some frequency (they also make fine portable FireWire drives, as well), this will be good, if inevitable news.

Update: It’s just 4200RPM. Ah me. (Thanks, Robert!)
