Re: Wallstreet Hard Drive Recommendations

I got one of these, it's a great price. I would only buy a Dell _computer_ to use as a prop in a horror movie about bad computers, but this hard drive is in my iBook and I love it. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx? sku=A0242099&c=us&l=en&cs=19&category_id=2999&page=exter

hard drive options

Good day all, I am glad this list is discussing hard drives, because I have just started looking into getting a new one for my Pismo PB. I am wondering if I ought to replace the internal drive or just keep it as is and get an external drive. The current drive is the stock IBM 18GB that came with

I believe some 2.5" Toshiba drives have 32MB buffers, but I'm not that sure they come in ATA-5. Drives running at 7200rpm cost considerably more, and are generally ATA-6. Cheers, Ben On 27 Jan 2005, at 04:53, CR wrote: Very interesting recommendations re: Wallstreet HD. Thank you Ben. I didn't

DVD Parental controls

Also the Wallstreet's controller is not likely to benefit much from a 7200rpm drive. --- "Andrew, a Mac Freak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ...any reason not to go to 7200rpm? > > Drives with slower RPM ratings generally use less > power. Also, a > 7200rpm drive may cost you a bit more than a

So I need a replacement, but I'm very hesitant to get another Apple adaptor as this problem I encountered doesn't seem uncommon. http://www.inertramblings.com/archives/000700.html http://www.appleleak.com/B7IFJY/Apple_Extra_Portable_65W_Power_Adapter_for_iBook_and_PowerBook_G4.html (4th review)

Very interesting recommendations re: Wallstreet HD. Thank you Ben. I didn't know about the buffer and wonder if bigger than 8MB are available. Also, any reason not to go to 7200rpm?
