The drives on my NEC laptops (good one and a spare for parts) are about the
size of a poker deck of playing cards. They are housed in a nice little
plastic and metal casing inside of which is what looks much like a typical
but small IDE drive, manufacturer's lable and all. THere is a small
circuit board to make a connector adapter, but the connector on both the
drive and the housing are much different from those found on my desktop
drives. There are 52 pins and the connector is very small. One would have
a difficult time finding a way to put this into one's desktop machine
without a lot of soldering and fussing about.
To install it in it's proper place, one simply slips it into the slot, give
a firm push, and it quietly clicks into place.
