Has anybody (especially anybody outside of USA) managed to source an IBM TravelStar 30GT or 32GH? If so, where and how much did it cost? (I have been quoted price that I considered quite ridiculous locally. Then I went searching the Web and either found nothing or equivaly outrageous prices. On the other hand, parhaps $800 including taxes is not that outrageous for 32GB of storage in the space of a cirarette pack ).

Thanks!

I managed to pick one up for around $500.00 US from . I have it installed into my Mk2 and it works great. Keep in mind that IBM is supposed to be bring out 40gb drives any day now. From what I understand they are in scarce supply. When I spoke to the guys at empeg about it they said as soon as they are able to get a reliable supply of drives they will start offering them in the players.
