A very good review is FINALLY up: http://techreport.com/articles.x/15931 Drives should be shipping now, but beware, Intel has announced an approx. $125 price drop next month! :) Good stuff!

Because the enterprise/server market is largely moving to 2.5 inch. Notebooks are all 2.5 inch. If you want one in your desktop, buy an adapter.

UPDATE: $729. Yes, 32 GB. Possibly shipping Monday.

I like my PS/2 hard drive. LOL! No, really, I'm not a fan of the poorly designed USB connector, and support for USB devices is too spotty. The Intel X48 M/B is sans PS/2, for instance, and it won't recognize my USB keyboard in the EFI console. PS/2 has never failed me. IDE I could do without...

Obviously for manufacturing/test purposes. Not for end user.

Sheesh! For the price of a drive, just replace it! What--two or three tanks of gas? I had a laptop brought to me that wouldn't boot because the drive was banging the head back-and-forth trying. After about 50 attempts, it booted! Immediately backed-up and trashed it.

My vendor reports around Nov 26. <$750 USD.
