To my knowledge, that would be a 750GB drive, right? Or was there a 1TB
one made? I don't remember, and I'm in too big a hurry at the moment to
check the Western Digital website. I know for a fact WD made the largest
2.5" PATA drive, but as for 3.5" PATA, I have a 750GB one from Seagate
myself and speculate that maybe WD might have made a 1TB.
