Is 2.5 inch disk drive suitable for desktop?
Can I pick your brains about a hard drive upgrade.
I have an old desktop PC with a 250 MB hard drive. I would like to increase the storage capacity and think 500 MB may be enough. The new drive will replace the old one. I notice that 500 MB is a size which I can now buy in 2.5 inch format. Is a 2.5 inch drive likely to be better (faster, lower power consumption, etc) than a 3.5 inch drive? Are the connectors the same? Or would it be better to install another 3.5 inch drive? Thank you for any advice.
