While on the subject of these 2.5" SSDs. Has anyone here seen a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter bracket, which would allow the 2.5" drive to be used in a 3.5" hotswap sled? The problem with all the adapter kits I've seen is they center the 2.5" drive in the bay. That's not a problem when running wires to the drive, but it is when plugging it into a fixed backplane. The data/power connectors on a 2.5" drive are the same distance from the edge as with the 3.5" models. So a proper adapter would only extend the side of the drive farthest away from the connectors.
I have blade servers which I'd love to remove all the moving parts from, but since they have 3.5" hotswap bays I'm left with using spinning disks, because that's all I can mount. ... I should probably just make them netboot anyway, because all their data is stored on an iSCSI server, and the boot drive would be useless if that machine wasn't available.
