Awesome. And about time too.
I have this preconception, however, that 2.5 inch drives are more prone to failure than 3.5 inch drives. I don't know where I got this from: perhaps the number of drives in caddies I have had go wrong, but that, in itself, is probably a side effect of carting them about all the time, and the (relatively) rough treatment they get.
Are there any stats on this? Logically, I'd imagine failure rate should probably be about equal.
How do they fit 2 platters into those? :o
They have three platters in the larger sizes, not two. They are also thicker at 12.5mm.
It probably has more to do with 2.5" drives being in caddies/laptops etc so getting moved around/dropped etc like you say.Quote:

If these would fit regular laptops and my PS3 I would be very excited, but they don't, so I'm not excited at all. :sleep:
