2.5" Drives On the Desktop
An anonymous reader points out an article on XYZ Computing exploring the use of a 2.5" notebook hard drive in a desktop computer. From the article: "The tradeoff for these qualities has always been limited capacities, high costs, and slow transfer rates, but a the recent progression in portable storage techology has changed the 2.5" drive greatly. We put the Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB SATA notebook drive in our test system and took it for a spin."
....Why?
"Snatching defeat from the mouth of victory on a daily basis."
STFU already about the Mac Mini! Probably most, if not all of us hardware-knowledgable types here on Slashdot have, at one time or another put a laptop drive into a desktop structure. I did well before the Mac Mini was even a hint of an idea in Steve Jobs' limited, (can you say "one-button mouse"?), imagination. All you pathetic Mac proseletyzers remind me of the whole "you have to approve of everything I do" gay attitude. As with them, I do not care what you do, just stop waving it in my face and demanding my approval. I don't care about your choice in computers -- it's YOUR CHOICE, and none of my business. Go about your business, and keep your business to yourselves (computer OR sexual choices).
