Western Digital Velociraptor

It seems that you have to put something down in the negative column. While I and others have no problem with these negatives, somebody may want to put some VRaptors in a NAS Box... which may be less expensive than a NAS Box with Enterprise class 10k RPM drives (I don't price such things). Any such person will be disappointed if they try that. If the "next gen" HD cage has non-movable connections for power and SATA became standard, we'd probably see a new version of the VRaptor that would fit. This drive is designed to be the fastest Desktop drive for consumers, based on WD's Enterprise class HDs. If it doesn't fit where it's not designed to go (a laptop for example) too bad (I'm sure somebody will try to mod a laptop/VRaptor to fit). For now my VRaptor sits in my tool less HD cage perfectly.

There is a way to get headphone and mic from the small 1x10 connector on side of the SB X-Fi Xtreme Music and Audigy 2ZS cards I own. I used instructions from http://audigy2zshowto.blogspot.com/ and a few other sources I found on google. Unfortunaly my crimping didn't work well, so next I'm going to try solder.
