This is not about the form factor, but how the drive is rated. In fact, most enterprise drives are 2.5" these days, with up to 15 krpm. Of course these are all SAS, and I'm not a big friend of VelociRaptors. Of course a solid state drive is completely immune to vibration, and I *suspect* it would tolerate higher (or lower) operation temperature better than than drive containing moving, lubricated parts which necessarily narrow operational range. > 3.5" drive?
