I've seen laptop drives in desktops for years! (Score 1)

Sometime in the late 90's I pulled a 2.5 inch drive out of a desktop computer. I believe it was a CTX brand (known more for their monitors). The drive was connected to the IDE cable using a notebook-to-IDE adapter. I replaced the drive with a 5.25" HDD and kept the IDE adapter for using a desktop computer to recover data off of laptop drives. It has been very useful.
