The HD in my recently acquired Icebook just died, and I need to get a replacement. I would like to get a 30-40 gig drive. What brands or particular drives would you recommend? I have not needed to buy a new drive in a while, so I don't really have any idea what to be looking for. I have noticed that most of the junk drives I have laying around are Western Digital, but these are older desktop drives. I've noticed that the IBM Travelstar drives are mentioned here quite often. Are they a good choice?
I put an IBM Travelstar (32 Gig) in my WallStreet a few years ago and it was nice. Very quiet, which was one of my main requirements. After the WallStreet's PMU board packed it in and I already had a Ti I put the TravelStar in an external FireWire case and I now use it as a backup drive for the Ti. It's still working well. I'd buy another one without hesitation.
