What? Only one drive? What have you been smoking lately?

Im hoping for some competition for the 2TB greenpower to drive prices down to make it better value, although this drive should be very good if its anything like the 1TB versions, and give an option for those who dont want the hassle/risk of buying the seagate 1.5TB.

This drive made it feasible for me to upgrade, WD is a total no-go, same with Seagate 1.5TB drives. Buying more F1 1TB drives was an option, but I'd rather wait for good 1.5TB drives...

So... Are these drives available in Norway or elsewhere? If not, do you have any guesstimates as to when?
EDIT: And, why do you think WD is a no-go?
