Just to clear things up a bit...
 
There are three 2 GB drives in the game now:
 
- The C3010 Series - full height 5.25 " - discontinued
- The C2490 Series - half height 3.5 " - still avail but on the way out
- The *new* 2 GB drives - half height 3.5 " - New Design 7200 RPM
 
The new 2 GB and 4 GB drives are part of the same line.
