sorry to burst your bubble richorlin, but the Toshiba Canvio Basics 1TB {USB3}
I posted yesterday arrived today. http://forums.macresource.com/read.php?1,1272985
It contains a Toshiba #HDD2K11 (MK1059GSM) 1TB 5400rpm 8MB Cache (12.5mm)
Believe that is Toshiba's latest model notebook HD.
Not too shabby for $45!

...and yep, that is one microsized bridge-board they use!
Hal, some folks posted on SD there was a WD {?} External where the bridge-board was soldered to the drive's controller. I have never seen one myself.
yeah, richorlin - that is just made up thinking - there is not truth to it at all...
Pano - I have one of those WD drives and yes, there is just a mini USB port where you'd expect to find SATA or PATA ports
but GREAT NEWS! It fits into this here toshiba case! SO, I no longer have to use it as just a bare external drive
