I stand corrected.  I just went to the Hitachi site and the product 
comparison.  Yes the "E" model shows system type Blade Server/Laptop.  
The non-E, shows just laptop.  The real difference is in the shock 
ratings, and the temperature.  The E model is cooler.  And since i did 
the superdrive firmware hack, and that drive runs warmer.  I figured 
the cooler-the-better!

Thanks for the correction
