Having made the decision to go with the new Powerbook (as I plan on using Final Cut Pro to edit projects with), I do realize what a pain it's about to become to install every singl…

Palm Desktop is a great (not to mention free) Organizer program. However, if you need something to share with multiple users, it is not for you.

Looking to upgrade PowerBook Bronze hard drive to 12/16 gig. What brand and what size / rpm should I look for? Where (online) should I shop? Thanks for the tips...

I have always liked IBM hard disk drives. IBM has recently come out with hard drives that hold 30 gigabytes, if I remember correctly. These drives spin at 5400 RPM, one of the fast…

5400 RPM is one of the SLOWEST drive speeds, not the fastest. more importantly seek and access time would be better numbers to look at if you are going to do any high disk i/o. [T…

"residentEvil", I don't think you've understood. We're talking mobile drives. The standard rotational speed for mobile drives is 4500 RPM. Before you flame another member (sorry i…

nope, it was not a flam and i do read. the question was about mobile, you answered merely as ibm. assumption was mobile, but you said market and to me, thats all inclusive to all h…

I dunno, I think that it was pretty clear that 5400 was in reference to mobile drives (I think 12,000 is the fastest for desktops?)... regardless, sean is right... 5400 RPM is the …

i wasn't saying anyone was right or wrong. i said 5400 is slow. man, people have a complex here. if you say 5400 isn't slow, deskptop or laptop, then the entire point was lost. get…

You might backup your posts with facts, like the difference in speed between whatever and whatever. If mobile hard disk drives were faster, with the technology we have today, they…

While some of sean's claims above were wrong (specifically those about thermally induced noise), he is correct that 5400RPM is the fastest available for notebook drives (4200 is st…

About the searing heat warping the innards, it turns out I was wrong. Drives might require thermal recalculation, but their innards won't warp enough to make more noise.

Whoops, I guess we posted at the same time... http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/biggrin.gif

thank you for letting me rant. thats all i was getting at was it's slowness compared to other drives on the market. i made no claims other than to stick with seek/access times for …

Getting back to the original question, I don't think the 5400 RPM drives are available yet. Are they? I just installed an 18 gig Toshiba (standard 4,200 RPM) in my G3 266 Wallst…
