2.5" Drives On the Desktop

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the when-big-sucks dept.

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."

    Oh, i'm sorry for being informative and helpful to you. Please forgive me for sharing my knowledge.
    I'll remember next time someone asks me a question to reply with what you did, i'm sure it'll go down a storm.
    When I see (and indeed write) SRAID it comes quite easily to me. Also, try a Google search for SRAID and see what comes up....i'm certainly not the only one to use that abbreviation/acronym.
