[quote author=“medstu”]Is it likely that the early production of the 80 gigs will be scooped up by apple, and consumers won’t see the bare disks until 2006?

Bet on it. The history of Toshiba 1.8” drives is quite clear.

Just what I thought :x   I still have to purchase my internal BT module and cable, so by the time I get around to it (school is starting soon, so I may not look at it until the holiday break in december) this bad boy from Toshiba might start to float around.  If not, I’ll go with the 60gb.

Where di you get the UJ-832?

I don’t have it in my hands yet.  I am not sure if I will, but there is a good chance that I will.  If I do, I will definitely post and let you know about the source.  Nothing illegal

nowdirect.com has the best price. thanks for the link, stuart.

i bought a 1.8 enclosure on ebay. it’s a hong kong sony-looking case that i plan to use for my current 40 gb drive for external backup and storage.
