Western Digital's 6Gbps Caviar Black 1TB hard drive @ Techreport

It is finally happening. The Hard Drive makers are starting to get the SATA 6.0 drives out into the market. Let's see if the new SATA 6.0 speed only helps out the SSD setups, or is the regular drives coming up with something to help beef up the speed.

Good read.
