too bad it is only 4200 rpms and not actually available quite yet, but its getting better.

Remember that Perpendicular Recording drives offers better performance than their rotation speed seems to indicate.

This drive may very well best every 5400RPM drive out there with lower power consumption to boot.

Of course, this is just speculations until we see a review of it.

The Seagate Momentus 5400.3 (Perpendicular Recording) offers nearly all the perks of a 7200RPM with only 4200RPM-like power draw.
