I'm not sure about 19 vs 12mm in 810 meg drives. For 500 meg, there used to be a premium but the price is now about the same. I have an off-brand notebook which can take a 19mm drive but came with a 12.5mm 540 meg drive, which they must have just used for convenience's sake. I see 500 meg drives with thinkpad caddies advertised for $699 but that seems awfully steep. A while back, I remember seeing empty caddies advertised for $179.00 or something like that. Wasn't there some discussion on this list about getting caddies made by a plastics company once?
