"SCSI notebook hard drive kits by Trek Storage.� The last SCSI notebook hard drive ever produced was 1997 by Toshiba.� Since then, demand has stayed constant, however, supply has been very limited.� Trek Storage offers a solution to those who need SCSI notebook hard drives. � Trek installs a converter to select Toshiba notebook hard drives, this converts the IDE to SCSI and allows the drive to operate in all SCSI notebook environments.� These kits have been tested in the most rigorous of SCSI tests and guaranteed to work or your money back." But ... There are sources for just the adapter cards, which are capable of converting ANY thin 2.5" UATA drive to SCSI. Apparently, Trek Storage only offers 540 MB, 810 MB and 2.1 GB drives. Using just an adapter card, an UATA drive of ANY size can be accommodated. And, right now the "sweet spot" for thin 2.5" UATA drives is about 20 GB, which is nearly an order of magnitude larger capacity than Trek Storage offers. Obviously, Wallstreets and similar machines have a maximum OVERALL drive height restriction. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
