Data connections are different, tho. If you're out of those, you're out, |

unless you have a PCI(E) slot to stick an expansion card in, and if |

you're out of those too... And of course if your power supply simply |
13 |
doesn't have the power to spare... but 2.5 inch drives tend to be power |

sippers as they're designed for battery use, and if you're running /that/ |
15 |
close to the edge, power-wise, you're risking instability anyway. |

But of course hard drives themselves cost money, and if things are as |
