Yabbut... what about all us folks with laptops...
more than six months old? Everything new is coming out SATA and that's just not an option for slightly older laptops designed around PATA. I'd love to get a bigger drive in this old Acer - it does all I need bar the storage - but it was designed/sold with an 80G in, currently has a 160G in, and a 250G is the largest PATA drive I can find.
