Re: My new 40GB Travelstar (Was: Noisy IBM Travelstar)

Is this a UFS partition? Any special reason why this format over HFS+? I've read that it breaks Carbon apps and only Cocoa ones can read/write with any efficiency. Just asking. on 5/16/02 4:17 PM, makmac at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Anyhow, it's happily chugging away and I'm finally ready to le

Re: Noisy IBM Travelstar

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. I've quit selling the IBM's for this reason. The Fujitsu's and Hitachi's are FAR quieter than the IBM. Thanks, David www.ibookparts.com www.wegenermedia.com

Re: Noisy IBM Travelstar

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 The replacement is now in an external case since the Lombard it was in has been replaced by a TiBook. > That actually made me happy. I can have a quieter

ones. I replaced mine with a IBM Travelstar 40GN 40GB ATA/100 4200RPM 2.5in Mobile HD from Googlegear for $157.99. This is a fluid bearing model and is very quiet. It does still have that rattle when accessed, though. Jim On Tuesday, May 7, 2002, at 10:36 AM, (G-Books) wrote: > N

What is the difference between the 30GN and the 40GN? There is about a $25 price difference at OWC for a 20GB. Thanks, Andrew -- G-Books is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Refurbished Drives | -- Check our web site for refurbis

Noisy IBM Travelstar

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 t

Re: Travelstar PCMCIA Card HD (was VST Expansion Bay)

Just for everyone's information, I got the drive from CompGeeks today, unpacked it, hooked it up, and it showed up fine as a PC drive. Then I reformatted it as a Mac HFS+ with two partitions. Works great. In case any are interested, here's the URL: http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp?invtid=34

32gb Travelstar now wakes up successfully in OSX on Pismo

GOOD NEWS! My 32gb Travelstar now wakes up in OS 10.1.3 on my Pismo (400mz) after closing and reopening the lid! This was an issue I & others suffered with using this drive in OS9. No internal modification necessary. I posted this info on Mike Breeden's xlr8yourmac.com site.

New 32gig IBM Travelstar won't wake from sleep

Sorry if this has been covered before- but yesterday I installed a new 32 gig IBM travelstar. Install went well, dragged all files over from 80 gig Maxtor, no problem. Had to fix some broken shortcuts, not a big deal. But when I closed the cover to move to another room, it wouldn't
