Opportunity : The computer consumable harddisks are unique ...usually consisting of
              the important data ...while these are not ment to be pocket carriable

              ...the connector interface to these hard-disks is cumbersome prone to
              wear and tear due to mal handling of the pins ....thus a better interface
              ...without loosing the data transfer speeds (while understanding and
              interpretation of baud-rates on serial could be kept in mind)
              makes good marketable proposition.

              say interchanging the male female interfaces of the datacable and the hard-disk,

              or pre-shipping the harddisks with a non detachable pluggable ....male or female
              connector cable ...to which the standard IDE or scsi interfaced cables can be socketed,
              viz. the idea is the connector cables on harddisks can be socketed to the datacables
              on the PCB .

                             


Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios
      and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in

        ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
