I'm noticing that Hitachi has a new 20Gb drive that seems to be available for US$150-160 at some retailers. Model is #DK23BA-20.

I looked for specs on the Hitachi site and it doesn't seem to be there yet, but it appears to be similar to the DK23AA-12 (9.5mm height).

Does anyone have any experience with this or other Hitachi drives as a second drive for the Empeg?
