These will be a welcome addition to data-hungry folks that can’t use 2.5″ drives.

I personally still prefer the 2.5″ format – they are higher capacity (500GB), faster (7200RPM), more readily available and more user-replaceable, hence my liking of the HP mininote.

250GB with 88.5 MB/s compares very favorably to the latest solid state disks. Even though the 1.8″ form factor will be more expensive than a comparable 2.5″ HDD, it will probably be less expensive than SSD.
