UM, desktops? Non-apple laptops that arnt as thin
If a desktop then why not just use a standard 3.5" which most desktops use (I've never seen one that uses the thicker 2.5) that are much cheaper? This 1TB is $250, when you can get a 1TB 3.5 for $100-150 at much faster RPMs.
I'm not thinking inside the box of only Macs, I just still don't see the point. Sure, there could be a small fraction of machines that use this sized drive, but again, I don't know why anyone would design a machine around a non-standard (but that could just be me, I do use a Mac afterall...).
The only good thing I see from these drives is a, "This mean that we'll have a 'normal' 2.5in drive of this capacity that everyone can actually use in a few months time".
