<What do you see as the cost save for single side vs two side and on what total drive cost. Hard to believe an extra 4.3 GB isn't worth $15 if my guess is close, even on the low end. By then 4.3GB will sound pretty chincy.> Right now cost is king and capacity is running a distant second place on the low end. I'm told that media which doesn't have one side tested (certified) can improve yields enough and reduce testing costs enough to make it interesting. And then take out that one TSA head and you've got an incremental cost savings in a market where $1.00 will make or break a sale. Regards, LT
