Tonight I saw a seagate 100 gigabyte 7200 rpm 2.5" hard drive at best buy for $199.99. Seems like it'd be great for those wanting to upgrade an old player.

Methinks it's 3.5". AFAIK, nobody makes a 7200RPM 100GB 2.5" drive - Hitachi's recently announced model is only 5400 RPM.

You can get a 200GB 7200RPM 3.5" FireWire drive for $116 on PriceWatch.

No, it's a 2.5" drive.
Here's the release announcement.

hmm amazing. I'd like to see someone try it.

If I get an Xclef, I'll get one of these drives. $350 for a 100 gig player

Hell, if I had the money I'd buy one of those right now. A 100 GB Zen Xtra would be pretty nice to own...

It seems more people are upgrading older Zens with 80 and 100 GB hard drives now.

Nomad Zen 100 GByte !!! Yeah Baby !!!

How long do you think before we see an 80 or 100 GB iPod? It'll probably cost close to $1,000.

Woah! Rad. Now I've got something new to lust after for my AluBook.

But $199 from BestBuy? That's amazing. The 5400rpm version is going for $230+.
