[Coco] Stuff for sale

[Kip Koon]

Hi Bill,
I need to get a couple 2TB hard drives to upgrade my laptop so I have not bid on anything else.  There are however a few things that I would like to get if they are still available like the FD-501 disk controllers and some 5 1/2 drives if I can't get mine going again.  I haven't blown them out with compressed air yet so I don't know.  
Do you know the reliability of Seagate 2TB hard drives?  The only refurbished 2TB hard drives on newegg.com are Seagates.  I would take this to mean to possibly stay away from Seagate 2TB hard drives!?!  I'm leaning toward the 7mm - 9.5mm height drives only as the 15mm height drives will not fit.  I mistakenly bought a 2TB 15mm height drive for a friends laptop which did not physically fit inside the laptop.  At the time, I was not aware yet of the different heights of the 2.5" hard drives that are available.  I looked on newegg.com a day or so ago and found 6 different height 2.5" hard drives ranging from 7mm - 15mm.  I guess it has to do with how many platters there are in the drive.  I found a 5TB 2.5" hard drive 15mm tall that I sure wish I could fit in my laptop.  I could barely afford it if it fit, but it doesn't.  According to the research that I did that day, the only hard drives currently available for the 7mm - 9.5mm height range are Seagate.  
Have you heard of any manufacturers that make 2.5" hard drives with a height of 9.5mm or less?
