Toshiba have some monoplatter 40GB 1.8" available (in presumably very scarce numbers) for testing purposes at around $1000 ..
Indeed i do know this issue Stripwax (the new tech is called P-recording for perpendicular recording)... Anyway i'm not too hurried and move from 20 to 30Gb isn't cool for me (too low increasing to be very interesting)

i should wait...
