a 2.5" HD carrier is available for the X4 Ultrabase. it's not ideal (it adds a lot of weight and doubles the thickness) but it beats USB... if anyone comes across a batch of these drives (1.8" 44-pin travelstar; they have been discontinued), pipe up, I am sure there are some other developers with these machines that might want to pick up a spare.
