3.5" = Desktop Hard Disk consumes more power than 2.5" hard disk
2.5" = Requires same or a bit more power as a USB thumb drive. Hence the usage in laptops because it use less power. That's why 2.5" drive do not need any power adaptor. Do you see any thumb drive using power adaptor? |

QUOTE(dvlzplayground @ Jun 3 2010, 09:59 PM) firewire is like an upgraded USB. benefits: much faster (fw800 is at least twice as fast as USB), and able to maintain the speed after daisy-chaining (more usb drives u connect, the slower it gets). bad things: kinda expensive :S Not only expensive but only can use on pc/laptop that have firewire port (like MBP/ iMac or PC with firewire card) |
