Does anyone really care about the smaller (<2GB)
3.5" drives anymore?
I do.
In rough order of usefulness:
- 50-pin SCSI
- Parallel IDE
- 80-pin SCA SCSI
- 68-pin SCSI
Serial ATA is of no use whatever to me - though I doubt you'll have any
SATA in that size range.
But anything under about 1G is of little value even to me, and those
incredibly noisy 2G Seagate Barracudas are lower on the value list than
the above info otherwise implies - their whine is just too piercing.
