Laptop Hard Drive slide out (removable) tray

110 points posted to Laptops by toyota_supra Jun 15

I would really like to see some sort of a slide out tray with a hard drive. It would be so convenient to slide in a hard drive with different operating system (XP, Vista, Linux), without going through the hustle of multi boot, confusing partitioning and last but not least, in case of a hard drive failure (even on multi boot systems) there would a quick and easy way to get up and running on a previously set up operating system(s).

I know that some 17 inch laptops offer optional second hard drive, but this idea is for a removable HD on any size laptop.

Regards,
T.S.

Jun 19		 I was thinking about removable HD/tray similar to the one on Lenovo Thinkpad X61.
