They announced that from now on they would be offering "packages" including a hard disk drive supporting new ATA/133 interface aka Fast drive and an ATA/133 controller. Moreover, the controller card (the manufacturer hasn’t been yet revealed) costing around $79.95 will be enclosed absolutely for free!
