I use a spare 2.5" notebook hard disks for my portable / external USB drive casing when i upgraded my notebooks' HDD. It's convenient if you are on the go since it's smaller but a little slower in rpm (4800 rpm) compared to 3.5" minimum of 5400 rpm. I've read somewhere that notebook HDDs will be coming out with 7200 rpm versions next year. -- AFernando email address(es): [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
