Based on recent readings on the web, it seems that at least the WD 250 Gig
2.5" USB ext. drives are SATA inside, *not* IDE as I suspected. And, for those
interested, BestBuy.com is offering the 250 Gig USB 2.0 ext. HD for $99.95,
meaning you can upgrade, say, a current model Apple notebook to 250 Gigs for
$100...
Thought some here might be interested.

local stores)
Oh, and the $99.95 is without rebate hassles...
Anyway,
Lionel
