Considering its a 12.5mm drive, its probably meant for systems that can fit more than one drive. Meaning it would make a good storage drive since its power consumption should be low.]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/....Sammy=Samsung]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/You were serious?

Actually 12.5mm drives fit in all unibody Macbook Pros. Seems odd that Engadget would miss that one. A lot of laptops are quite thick to be honest, I'm sure if people tried, they'd fit in a good number of machines.

But yeah, they need to make a 9.5mm 1TB drive and a 7200RPM model at that. Seems like we got perpendicular recording and they ran out of ideas.

Maybe we're just going with SSD now.]]>Jul 20th 2010 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/
My first car was a '66 Karmann Ghia that had belonged to my grandpa in Florida. By the time I got it, there was more Bondo and rust than actual metal left. Every time I'd fix one thing, two others would break. I loved that cool old piece of crap.]]>Jul 20th 2010 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/
I even got it into second gear once!

Anyhow, since then every vehicle I've owned has been a manual. No looking back.]]>Jul 20th 2010 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 4:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 11:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/Jul 20th 2010 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/

ALL of my media in one compact machine!]]>Jul 20th 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/20/samsung-ships-1tb-spinpoint-mt2-2-5-inch-hard-drive-but-it-won/
It was fast for its day-- Pentium I 266 MHz MMX CPU, 160 MB EDO SDRAM, and 4 MB C&T graphics chip with 12.1-inch dual scan LCD screen.

Yup, that baby had a large internal hard drive bay. The standard drive was a Toshiba 4.3 GB, 12.5mm height hard drive. I later replaced it with a 160 GB, 9.5mm height hard drive. lol

My current Dell Inspiron 1525 only has a drive bay large enough for a 9.5mm height hard drive. Practically nearly every modern day laptop for keeping things thin and light is 9.5mm height only unless you are going into behemoth desktop replacements. My Toshiba 335 CDS? Well, that thing was 1 inch thick which didn't count the LCD lid, which was an additional quarter-inch in thickness.
