If 750gb disks are big enough, you can get a cute little internal trayless hot swap bay for 2 - 2.5" SATA drives that fits in the space a 3.5" floppy would have taken. The WD ''Scorpio Black" drives are pretty snappy - and you can toss your backup in your shirt pocket. I think someone even has a 1 Tb drive in the standard laptop height now. Until recently there were 2.5" 1 and 1.5 Tb drives but they were too tall for standard enclosures. -- Les Mikesell lesmikes...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
