Rad Craig asked: >> What do I need to know in order to buy a larger HD for my Pismo, I >> mean what are the specs I need to look for when shopping for a bigger >> HD? Like interface, rpm, thickness, etc.
to which Bruce Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> replied: >Any 2.5" drive on the market now should work. It has to be 9mm high or >less, iirc. I believe. Drive height is limited to 12.5mm, not 9.5mm, which expands the range of possiblities to (just about?) every currently available 2.5" drive. You'll see such terms as ATA5 and ATA6, the Pismo can use them all. The only restriction is that the Pismo's onboard Ultra ATA controller can only see the first 120-something GBs of a drive. Since AFAIK there are no larger drives available yet, that won't be a consideration (yet.) Hmm, I just thought of SATA, are there any such 2.5" mechanisms? I'm not aware of any but then I haven't been paying close attention lately. dan k ................................. http://macdan.n3.net/ carracho://dankephoto.dhs.org:9700 hotline://dankephoto.dhs.org:9500 ................................. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
