Anyone know the difference between...

... the Samsung SpinPoint T HD401LJ and the SpinPoint T HD403LJ? Also, what's the difference between the SpinPoint T's and P's? I've looked on Samsungs website and it's none too helpful.

The T series are Samsung's current disk line, the Ps were the previous one. The main difference looks to be, as usual, the data density on the platters, the Ts are 133Gb or 166Gb to the Ps 120Gb or 80Gb.

The 403LJ isn't listed on the Samsung site but seems to be for sale in a lot of places. The suggestion is that it's from the T166 range with the 166Gb platters but again Samsung's site doesn't list a 400Gb model in the T166 range.
