Sister's iBook (clamshell) HDD is on its way out, I think. Making "head chatter" noises, really loud--and failing to boot while doing so--on and off. Forced shutdown by holding power key stops this, and machine boots fine afterwards, apparently. Have told her to backup, NOW! So, options? Replacement with new drive, or replace with the current drive (12 gig) from my Pismo and a new drive for me? Replace with IBM TravelStar 4.86 Gig from my cousin (PC Formatted, but that can be fixed) which is a working pull? I do lots of image work and audio work, she does lots of word processing, ergo IMO I should be getting a new (read: bigger!) drive, not her.
Recall there was a 7200 rpm drive for laptops out. Anybody have comments on this?
Thanks.
