Hi Yes it will it is just a straight drop into the pismo caddy but
the face plate will not fit as it is slot loading. You can make one
easy enough from an old vst zip drive caddy for the pismo.

Actually I've already done that with the drive I already have. My
partner's Fujitsu laptop was fried by a power surge and he was crushed
by the loss of data. His motherboard was a real mess. I jerked the

can tell because it's in an expansion bay.

there is v. little speed difference between these and the newer 4,200rpm
