Even Cheaper?
Could you even buy a used laptop with a damaged hard drive, put in the Sandisc drive, and have a really cheap laptop worth having?

That is good news from the geek and user side of the coin ! A few months and the price will be more affordable with competition from other manufactures.

Depends on the interface of the laptop and drive: PATA or SATA etc - they have to be the same to work together and an old laptops BIOS might not support the sandisk in sleep mode or various other scenarios. Worth googling in a few months to see what people have come up with....

Hi, thanks for the comment. I've been finding technical gear to be fragile enough for real care and deep knowledge. Thanks also for the piste info on your CD. Linzi.
