I agree with Sumit on this.
I think the Laptop HDD will reduce the power consumption to a large level and will heat up far lesser than a regular HDD. But I understand that, what we are doing here is with what is available, and I too dont have a Laptop HDD for spare.
Someone who has a laptop HDD spare can contribute to this project, and Gigy will be a happy man to test with it!
What say Gigy?

If possible, try to get hold of a Laptop HDD as it is designed to absorb some amount of shocks and jerks.
I will be following this thread closely. Keep us updated :-) |
