Hi Christopher and John Electrical they are nearly identical. At most hardware shops you can get a simple adapter for a few $/€/£ which converts the 2½" connector to that of a 3½" ATA drive and a power cord. Then you can mount the drive in a standard desktop machine and ghost again and again until you go crazy. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 18-02-2005 23:30:57 >>> The laptop IDEs have a different connector (smaller), thus only a laptop IDE drive will plug into that case, not to mention they are extremely tiny, just big enough for the small laptop drive. A larger (desktop) drive will not physically fit, nor will it fit electrically.
