I'm considering buying a new hard drive from zip zoom fly. They
describe the drives as bare, not coming with cables, etc. I intend to
put the drive in my Pismo, which currently has the original drive. Do I
need cables or what does this mean?
Thanks!
Debra,
No cables needed.
Google replacing a hard drive in a Powerbook Firewire and you should
get several great sites with photos and step by step procedures.
I replaced mine several months ago. It went very smoothly. Easy to
access. My first drive was giving me some strange error messages and
was somewhat loud. I upgrade to a 40G Travelstar and have been very
satisfied. Of course now I could easily get an 80 for what I paid, but
40 has been fine for me...
You might also want to consider getting a firewire enclosure for your
old drive if it is in good working order and big enough. Makes for a
cheap, portable external drive. Also then it is very easy to transfer
your data.
Haven't tried CCC, but hear a lot of good things about it.
Good luck!
Let us know how it goes.
