Make all vendor shield the PCB with a metal cover to stop static killing the drive and hey presto you have a world wide standard!



Come off it guys - you standardised on the case dimensions and positioning of the screw holes so why not the connectors on the back of the drive???]]>Jan 9th 2006 5:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/09/seagates-tornando-removable-hard-disk-standard/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/09/seagates-tornando-removable-hard-disk-standard/Jan 9th 2006 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/09/seagates-tornando-removable-hard-disk-standard/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/09/seagates-tornando-removable-hard-disk-standard/


Right now, I store my HDTV movies on 200/250GB hot-swappable HDDs. I bought an enclosure, and every time I get a new drive, I just buy a new hot-swappable chassis to stick the drive into (chassis slides in/out of enclosure). At this point, I'm running at about $100 per 250 Gigs ($90 drive + $10 chassis), while the enclosure (firewire+usb2!) was a one-time $60.



Yeah it took some real reasearch to make this setup. But if their Toronananado system is any more than $50.00 for the enclosure and $50 per drive, it's a freakin' rip-off. And I'm the target market!

Will be interesting to see if Seagate has an internal 3.5 inch FF SATA drive also. Inquiring minds in high places want to know??????]]>Jan 19th 2006 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/09/seagates-tornando-removable-hard-disk-standard/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/09/seagates-tornando-removable-hard-disk-standard/Would like to know 2 things from #9?

What makes him think he is the target market? And how many units is he going to buy???]]>Jan 19th 2006 10:41PM
