Why bother with a new form factor? Just use a mini-PCI-E card/expressCard form factor. SSDs don't need significant cooling and I'm sure mini slots already have well-defined size restrictions.

Now only if it is available with an eSATA interface.

I was just thinking it looks like that is an eSATA plug.

How the hell am I going to fit one of those to my machine! The advantage of the 2.5" and 3.5" formats and interface is that they are easily added to existing desktops and laptops.

That said SSDs are just the opportunity to move to a much smaller format looking forward. I can imagine plugging them directly into a motherboard SATA-type port with out any need for cables. I'm sure there's lots of innovation still to come on SSDS.

@basicasic - That's kinda the point of the article. If a new, smaller standard could be agreed upon, then new laptops could be designed for the smaller form factor from the ground up. This would result in smaller, more efficient laptops, possibly with more space for things like bigger batteries.

This wouldn't mean that the 2.5 inch form factor would disappear overnight, but it would continue to be sold much as 3.5 and 2.5 inch disks co-exist now. This idea can't help but catch on once SSDs become as common as hard disks in laptops.

As far as I'm aware SATA/eSATA can't deliver power, so you cannot do away with the cables completely

Just make a drive bay adapter that can hold a few of the things and you're golden.

Apple, buy them fast. It'd be lovely to see one of those in apple's next gen iphone or itablet thingy.

BTW, why cant they just put 10 of them together so a 2.5" or 3.5" sized one can have over 1TB or 2TB storage.

I always thought this was the way to go. I bought a Cambridge Z88 in pre-historic times. Unfortunately Clive Sinclair's ideas were way ahead of the times and the machine was flaky (but VERY sexy). My latest Asus EEE 901 has no mechanical drive. I will never, ever buy another mschine with a mechanical drive. If we all take this tack, costs will tumble.
