Anyone remember that old 2.1GB portfolio drive? I'm looking for the areal density specs for it. I can find all sorts of info on WDC.com about 2.167GB, 2 platter, 4 head, but no areal density(Gb/in^2) info. Can anyone help?

The Asian companies that are out pricing WDC also have manufacturing in Asia and therefore lower manufacturing costs as well.

It's amazing how many posters don't grok this simple fact. Gives me faith in inefficient markets. <ggg>
