Well this seems more appropriate as fast portable storage solution rather than anything permanent.
I was about to berate it for blocking other SATA ports, then realised that's not likely to be an issue for target applications, because you're not going to use every port.
However, as Faiakes pointed out, an eSATA one would probably be a better idea.
Also, where does it get power from?
no power??
also it would be better if it could lie flat, mITX cases may not be able to take the height of that SSD.
Would it have been a god idea to implement a flexible SATA connector (as in some usb external drives)?
It'll probably come with a mini-SATA cable. Presumably a USB connector for power too.
+1 i wanna know this, SATA doesnt supply enough power natively surely?Quote:

Looks rather like it blocks the SATA ports on either side.... FAIL +:surprised:
For big power users maybe... but...Quote:

Been waiting for this. Absolutely the perfect solution for my HTPC systems.
Agreed, for a nice little HTPC install with just an OS, a couple of media programs, MS office and mediaportal a slightly bigger version of this would be perfect.
Why would you need Office on a HTPC?
Maybe because the PC might serve more uses than just HTPC?
