What do you mean, "loses itself in OS 10.2" and "the bridge is not completely OS 10 compatible"? I would probably replace my internal 20 GB with that drive, but I certainly don't want to have problems. Do you mean that, for example, if the laptop is put to sleep, I might have problems waking it up? Isn't the ATA interface a universal thing, i.e. if it's ATA and the computer supports ATA, it should just work? I'm asking because I'm not a total expert on these matters and before committing money to this, I want to be sure it would work. Unfortunately, the seller isn't able to help me, hence my request to the list.
