Anyone got a Toshiba 100GB 1.8 or getting the new 120GB 1.8?

Toshiba just announced the 120GB 1.8 MK1214GAH; it says it's ATA 6 so it must work on my X40. Does anyone know where I can buy this now?

For anyone with the Toshiba 1.8 100GB, does the hard drive make clicking noise. My current hard drive is a Hitachi 60GB and the clicking noise is annoying, which I hope I can avoid with the Toshiba( and get a much needed storage upgrade)

Which connector does the drive use? Cannot find this piece of information. Most likely it uses a ZIF-connector which does not fit into X40/X41.

The connector says ATA6. My X40 has like the IDE with pins on it, much like the IDE hard drives for desktop PC

That's the version of the ATA specification. It defines mainly command set and maximum UDMA speed. It does not tell which of the two connectors the drive has. Most likely it is the wrong one.
