Since 1.8" drives do not have ordinary (S)ATA interfaces or
at least connectors (with very few exceptions), they are not
sold on the general market.

Either way, I saw a TravelStar drive, but it looked like the standard

What is that all about?
I'm an IT tech, so I know all about the adapters and such for the 2.5"

Why is the connector on the long edge and not the short edge?
