2.5" hdd
i've just bought a new hdd for a laptop, and looking at it's spec - http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=685, it seems a 1tb drive is also available - i find this interesting! obviou...
I’d just like to say that I’d also be extremely interested in seeing an approved 2.5" drive & adapter for ReadyNAS. I simply don’t need 12TB of storage space and would love to be able to save energy and reduce noise/heat by using 2.5" disks. Why use 30W of power when you can do the same work in <3W? :)
There are some adapter products on the market that would probably work, but one of the reasons I use ReadyNAS instead of rolling my own is because I want a reliable, tested solution that won’t leave me scrambling for backups if a disk swap goes bad. Any movement in this direction would be greatly appreciated by me, and probably a good number of other people, especially as SSDs become more prominent and affordable. The name of the game here is increased reliability and reduced power usage, not speed. :)
