Comments on the Travelstar

I have a 40G deskstar on my cube and a 40G travelstar on my Ti-book. I purchased both from OWC--the deskstar in 2001 and the travelstar last summer. Both cracked up in the first 3-4 days. The TiBook drive in particular made unbelievably horrible, grating sounds. Shipped them both

Yeah, it came out about a year ago that it was going to happen and I believe it has been finalized within the last 3-6 months. David On Tuesday, January 14, 2003, at 01:40 PM, Laurent Daudelin wrote: > On 14/01/03 13:27, "David M. Ensteness" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I was wondering that

I was wondering that same thing and just opened my keyboard to check, my 40GB is in fact 9mm not 12.5 so they are different. David On Tuesday, January 14, 2003, at 01:23 PM, Laurent Daudelin wrote: > On 14/01/03 13:18, "David M. Ensteness" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> I just installed a 40GB

Anybody has any comment on the Travelstar 48GB? It's a 12.5mm drive with a 5400rpm speed. I have the chance to get one used, so if you can also suggest what price you think it's worth, that'd be awesome! Thanks all! -Laurent. -- ===
