Well, the small size is nice, but I already have a couple of extra 3 1/2
inch 80GB drives laying around. I put one in an external USB case, but
still, I recently got a 200GB 3 1/2 inch drive for about $60 after rebate; a
notebook drive would probably be about 5 times as much for less than half
the size. The larger size isn't that big a deal.
