Talk:Small form factor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since Shuttle has innovative and effective CPU cooling methods, the comment about heat seems incorrect.

[edit] But what is it?
Interestingly, the article never actually says what SFF is. How small is small? Are mini-towers SFF? Are laptops? Are there standard SFF form factors — are microATX systems SFF? mini-ITX? When did SFF systems first appear? Why do people want SFF? Just a few ideas to kick off some additions (don't forget to cite sources). --Mrwojo 00:29, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Expandability is very limited in some small form factor computers with most commercial offering only providing for one 3.5" and one or two 5.25" external drive bays. How is this different from Normal PCs? I haven't seen many non-workstation PCs that have more than two 5.25" bays, going all the way back to the original IBM PCs, where there wasn't any disks smaller than 5.25!! ..., and generally these cases can only fit 2-4 hard drives. FOUR Hard Drives! These specs don't define Small Form Factor and should probably be taken out. This article will very quickly be outmoded. It would be good to provide more contrast with measurements of form factors in the past, because this SFF will seem ridiculously large in the near future. Cuvtixo 03:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Standard
For those trying to edit the "new standard" page..please don't take out the stuff about it being the first standard for SFF. This isn't advertising as I wrote it and I operate sffclub.com and I am not employed by AMD or any computer company for that matter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.127.44.14 (talk) 20:14, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

You obviously don't track small form factors very often....or larger computers for that matter.
Many computer cases now come with the ability to hold many hard drives and in some cases up to 8 or 10 hard drives! Small form factor computers are limited in this aspect with many just holding 2 while only one can hold 4 which is amazing. Also many ATX computer cases come with 4 or 5 external 5.25" drive bays which is many more than the 2 you see on SFF. This is in comparison to the other computer cases and form factors out there...not just your Dell computer at work. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.127.44.14 (talk) 20:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC).
