    So I ordered what I thought would be a good Hard Drive Cable from Ebay, but it turned out to be the wrong part. Is there any way to convert this connection? Or... is there a type of drive that fits this little connection?

    30 more minutes of research tells me the cable I bought connects a 1.8mm drive.

    Anyone need one? I sure don't :)

    Only cost me $14... It fits an iPod drive. I AM going to keep it I think. When prices drop for those drives (or FLASH BASED), I can pick one up. Could save on heat and weight.
