Samsung Unveils 'Mini Card' SSD Standard Comments

Does this offer and advantage over the the 1.8" hard drive standard that already exists?

@Gdub:

Not only is it smaller, it looks like it's using MiniPCI-e, so manufacturers can build a socket that can take lots of different expansion cards - AND it can be fitted into existing laptops with a spare slot, I hope... (there's not just PCI-e ×1 in that there edge-connector folks, also USB2, SMBus, WiFi LEDs, and SIM card reader pins!)

Its about time people started making use of mini PCI-e. Got two of them sitting unused in my lappy with nothing good to shove into them.

Those front screw holes look very close to the edge.
