    ditching the screws on the side for something that screws through the drive from top to bottom, we may see thinner drives again,

    yeah that's what you need for a portable device... efficient storage. errr netbooks are for surfing the net. You know what makes surfing the net more efficient? A quick IO subsystem (considering you stay away from Atoms).

    The sooner these mechanical abominations disappear the more stress-free computing will be

    I was talking about netbooks.

    If you have a recent laptop then you may have a chance of having 2 SATA drives (either through a 2nd bay or the DVD drive).
