Nope. 1st gen had 9GB per platter, 2nd gen 18GB and 3rd gen have 36GB per platter bringing the biggest at 144GB (and ~$970 ...)
2nd gen are X15-36ES drives and they come in 18,36 or 72GB flavors.
They all have a 5 year warranty.
BTW 3rd gen (X15.3) is just around the corner... prices have been announced, and 1st-tier reserved models are out. They should show up quite soon.
