    slim line Hard disk drive (not Laptop)
    I need a slim line Hard disk drive.

    I think the standard Hard disk drive is about 25mm in height.

    I need something about 15-18mm.

    I have seen some Maxtor 40gb that is the required height, in another machine.

    Any of you got slim big drives ?

    Can anyone confirm that the 40gb Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 8 are slimline?
    I have one made in March 2003 that is, not too sure if it's just a special edition one?

    The slimline drive is going in a slimline case or a homemade case!

    I'm trying to decide, I might have a look around Muji for boxes or maybe Ikea!

    The 40Gb Maxtor is very slim for a 'full size' drive. Got mine from EBuyer.
