I would recommend neither. I have a Fujitsu, and I am very satisfied. OWC has 60 GB Fujitsu's for $247 http://eshop.macsales.com/Catalog_Page.cfm?Parent=91&Title=2%2E5%22%20ID E%20%26%20SCSI%20for%20Laptops&Template=
Quiet, speedy, I couldn't ask for much more. BTW: I think you *need* a 9.5mm drive for a PBG4... -Dustin -----Original Message----- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Brian C. Peters Sent: Thursday, December 19, 2002 1:16 AM To: G-Books Subject: Best 60 GByte drive for PB? The top two contenders are IBM and Toshiba, both fluid bearing drives. Same access times despite the rotational speed differences. Sustained transfers are similar enough. IBM has two versions: IC225t060atcs05 and IC225t060atcx05 the later rated for continuous duty the former not! Most retailers don't know the difference. The Toshiba is cheaper, bare drive 209$ compared to 292$ for the IBM. I'm still not sure about its duty cycle yet. The Toshiba is smaller 9mm instead of 12.5mm. But that does not matter as the drive will be put into a G4 titanium. Then again it might be better for cooling. Can anyone here help with other opinions and considerations?
