Hi, I'm using an IBM Travelstar in my pismo. The model number on the drive
is DJSA-230...and it's kind'a noisy (relative to what I'm used to of
course). I notive the difference considerably when the drive spins down
when I'm watching a dvd. Even if it's connected to a moniter and I'm across
the
Thank you all for answers
Problem solved
Went for Jeremy Derr suggestion
perform a clean install from an old 9.0 CD
(from the options button on the Select a Destination Disk screen)
then Customized the install and turned of EVERYTHING except the Language Kit
Restart had the symbols showing in
I'm on my second VST expansion bay Zip (used on both 233 and 292
Wallstreets). The first one got the COD but it may have been my fault
- I ejected a cartridge and immediately changed my mind and rammed it
back in. I think the drive got confused. Had drive replaced by dealer
eventually and all

Does anyone know if this is one of the new ones with the liquid bearings
that's so quiet? I think it's the 30GN I've heard that about. I don't
I bought a used VST expansion-bay Zip drive for my Wallstreet 250, I've been
using for over a year without any problems at all (Watch me jinx myself
now!). I love the drive.

What is the difference between the 30GN and the 40GN? There is about a $25
price difference at OWC for a 20GB.
Thanks,

I just replaced my DJSA-220, which was a replacement for the original 6
gig drive in my Pismo. This was an 18 gig HD. It was getting too small,
but it was also getting progressively louder. Judging from the
similarity in model numbers I would say you don't have one of the liquid
bearing ones.
The DJSA-230 is a model 30GT - no liquid bearings.

That actually made me happy. I can have a quieter drive in this thing!
WOOHOO! I'm looking at the 40GN models at OWC. I may just go for the 30GB
and use the noisy one I have now as a backup drive in an external firewire
case.
I had my 20 gig model replaced by IBM because of noise. Note however, that
the replacement was a 'Serviceable used drive' and not brand new. The
replacement is now in an external case since the Lombard it was in has been
replaced by a TiBook.

I checked them out as thoroughly as I could at the IBM site a while
ago (before I bought my 20-gig 30GN - I downloaded lots of the PDF
files from their web site, see

My $.02 is that most every IBM I've ever used has been incredibly noisy, far
more noisy than any other drive I've had. . . The Fujitsu's and Hitachi's are
FAR quieter than the IBM.
My 30GN is basically silent now, a couple months after installation,
but what I've
