I think it may be the ac adapter for it. I'll go to my local apple store.

I'm going to bet it's the AC adapter, I'm on my third one. They don't seem to be the best quality. The one I have now makes a humming noise when it's charging. Good news is Apple c…

Any opinions on the best hard drive - with the largest capacity I can swap for my stock 60Gig drive?

I've been happy with Hitachis. I think the largest capacity from any manufacturer currently is 80GB.

The fastest is the Hitachi (formerly IBM) Travelstar 7k60 which is a 7200rpm 60GB drive. The largest is the Hitachi 5k80 which is a 5200rpm 80GB drive. The 7200 rpm one is somethin…

Hmm. Thanks. I guess I should wait for larger drives. Can't see getting a new drive for only 20 more gigs. Thanks for the info....will keep an eye on Hitachi.
