of hard drive speed and about the pros and cons of RAM cache
size. Getting

Well I have to say that this has been a very strange day. Here we are,
talking about hard drive options, and all of a sudden, one of my
external drives just started buzzin' like a chainsaw. Correct me if
I'm wrong, but once that happens, isn't it toast? Or is there a

I too am looking to upgrade my PB 867
my 40 gig HD is almost full (music and fotos)
so i went to Microcenter,
(which i like better than the apple store,
i buy all my apple gear there)
Got a price of 200 buck to put in a 80 gig
harddrive(samsung).
150 for the HD and 50 for service.
seems high
Cost me about $240 for the same service, though with a
Hitachi TravelStar drive (80 for the labor, 150 for
the drive).

For what its worth, I have the 5400RPM 80GB TravelStar
in my 12 G4, and the 5400RPM 80GB Samsung in my
Pismo. Both drives are nearly silent (no advantage
for either) and both seemed to give its respective
home a similar speed boost over the 4200rpm drive it
replaced. Samsung drives aren't so
FYI: zipzoomfly.com seems to have the least expensive hard drives
anywhere. swapping the hd yourself is fairly straightforward as well.
Depending on the speed you're looking for, you could go for well under
150. Hitachi Travelstars seem to be the best liked and most
problem-free in all the

The labor for a drive swap was for a modern 12 PowerBook, the hard to open

I did the swap myself on the Pismo in all of about 10 minutes.

I am glad this list is discussing hard drives, because I have just

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
