Nope. It's 36GB. I read the article and it was 36GB. That's the size I heard originally anyway. Some day, 360GB will be at $160, but not right now. I wish though.

It's 36GB and I was rather disapointed with the benchmarks. Only true gains are the seek time and at 36GB it's not really a great investment IMHO. The performance hit comes from the small disk size and thus platter size.
 
Larger versions with larger platter sizes should yield far better results.

IMHO larger platters and more platters allow better transfer rates.
