Re: Why a shortage of IDE drives?

Nobody would even think of trying to pawn off a 2.5" drive of less than a
gig.  Most get tossed automatically.  :(   There is also the issue of
consistency.  I have no problem trying outseveral different sizes of HD form
different vendors from my scrapped laptops, but when you sell commercially,
you'd like a consistent product that you know will work.  (I have one drive
that will not boot, it appears to store and retrieve fine, it just will not
boot.

my 2 cents.
