If you need yet more storage for your laptop, Fujitsu is bringing out a 500GB 2.5″ hard drive in May 2008:
Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc., a leading supplier of innovative computer products including hard disk drives, peripherals and biometric security solutions, today announced the release of its 2.5” 500GB¹ 4200RPM SATA hard disk drive (HDD), the fourth-generation high capacity 4200RPM SATA drive.

Although this is only a 4200RPM drive, the SATA II interface will help transfer rates. Will we see a 1TB 2.5″ drive soon? Maybe in 2009…
