They seem common enough in notebook drives but almost unheard of in
desktops.I've only seen a couple in recent years.
I've got a 4gb 2.5" Fujitsu here that is still solid but i've ended up
buying Hitachi Travel stars and Seagates myself. No particular reasons
just based on which supplier I can grab as much as I need from in the
one trip.
