[geeks] Why can't I find large-capacity replacement/upgrade IDE laptop drives?

[John Francini]

Hi, folks,

I was doing some shopping, both on-line and physical, looking for IDE  
laptop hard drives with capacity significantly greater than 160 GB.  
I've been able to find 200 to 250 GB drives, but they're almost  
always SAS drives.

Does anyone know of such a beastie that I can find and buy?


Thanks!
