Who does? http://www.google.com/products?q=1.8...ucts& show=dd Strange that Newegg or CDW don't sell them. Either way, I saw a TravelStar drive, but it looked like the standard 2.5" IDE connector was on the side. Like this... http://tinyurl.com/4w4kyb What is that all about? I'm an IT tech, so I know all about the adapters and such for the 2.5" but I haven't encountered the 1.8" yet...
