Miniature 5400 and 7200 RPM HDDs Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the small-sizes-and-big-storage dept.

PReDiToR writes "At Tom's Hardware I found this favourable review of some remarkable Hard Drives. The article points out that with 40GB units suitable for server or desktop use, life with 2.5" drives could be just around the corner. Heat noise and power consumption are all apparently within acceptable tolerances."

    Ditch the complaining >:P the box looks neat to me, plus the added weight keeps it from falling to the floor when my kitten decides it's time to toy around with the controller wires :D ... although a miniature version in the spirit of PSOne would be nice.

    I tried searching for your sig on google, but it returned no matches. It's a cool quote, mind telling me when the National Security Agency said that?

    Here's a series of questions for you:

    1. Are you picking it up every five minutes for some reason?

    2. Does it not fit into a backpack or duffel bag?

    3. Is it too heavy to sit on your floor or entertainment shelf?

    Most likely, the answers to these were "no", "no", and "no".

    Why are we complaining about a console that, for 99% of the time, just sits there anyway? (And when you DO take it to a friend's house, it's not a bitch to carry in a backpack. I know--I do it.)

    Bitch about the controllers all you like, but it's much smaller than a PC you might take to a LAN party.
