Sweet! Pricing seems competitive for what they are offering. But what's up with the 2.5 SATA drives? I was looking to replace my Z620 which has existing 3.5" drives - looks like I can't repurpose those. 2.5" drives are also considerably costlier than their 3.5" counterparts - never mind they also handle heat better.
- acomjean 8y agoI thought that was only on the smallest machine, but I checked and they all have 2.5" drives. I'm not sure why in desktop they would choose to go that route.
- freeone3000 8y agoSSDs are either m.2 or 2.5" form factor. There's no need for a spinny drive.
- blinkingled 8y agoYou can build one with spinning 2.5 drives that are costlier than the 3.5 ones. So it's not about not needing spinning drives - for lots of redundant storage 3.5" drives are still the most economical choice.
- ccarse 8y agoI think this is them being forward looking, realizing that 3.5" drives are quickly becoming a relic of the past.
