Is it a 2 TB WD drive on the way, or just something close?

Last month, a Czech online computer retailer -- either inadvertently or by design -- posted a listing for a 2 TB Western Digital hard drive. The price wasn't exactly stratospheric, but it's a little high, which might make you think it's some kind of scam, but it's got the right part number for what exactly such a part would be.

However, when news to the press was leaked out last December 15, the specs didn't exactly say 2 TB. Let's just say the Czech retailer rounded up. The original word said to expect this new model in the WD20EADS power-saving product line, which is why some believe it will actually end up spinning at 5400 rpm rather than 7200. But the window for any such real announcement from WD may be closing fast: Its fiscal second quarter conference call is scheduled for two weeks from today.
