Currently shipping in 80 GB and 120 GB sizes the drives claim they can achieve random data transfer rates in excess of 110 Mbytes/s, which for non geeks is substantially faster than today’s drives.
Currently it looks as if the drives will just be made available in Japan with no plans of shipping worldwide.
