Hi guys, I have: Rev. C Powerbook G4 667 DVI Firewire 400 768MB RAM OSX.2 4200RPM HD I am really tired of the spinning ball everytime I use the msnbc.com website, and the sluggis…

I'd stick with a 5400 RPM drive. From what I have seen in the benchmarks, the 7200's are nowhere near as fast as their RPM speed would lead you to think they are. That said, I we…

I'm not sure you would see any increase in speed on the MSN site with a fast HD. Info from page is coming over internet, not from your drive, so fast drive wouldn't have any effec…

I have to say that in principle HD speeds should not be the bottleneck for internet surfing, word, etc. But in reality, upgrading my wife's Pismo from a 4200 to a 5400 rpm interna…

HI I tray to alias Function Key on a M$ Bluetooth Keyboard in OS X 10.3.3 but can't find out how to see what the keyboard sends when a press a key. Does any one know a app or buil…

I currently have an old, out of warranty, noisy, but OK IBM TravelStar 5400rpm 60GB drive with 2MB cache in my 667MHz Gigabit Ethernet TiBook. I'm considering getting a new 60GB d…

So nobody has either one of those drives? Can anyone comment on the difference in cache? Where's the best place you've found to buy 2.5" HDDs?

bench mark wise the 16mb is marketing. You don't need 16mb for such a small hd it would never use all 16mb of cache. Pluse bench mark wise showed the other one was a tad faster.

I have the 60GB 5,400 RPM/2MB cache IBM TravelStar drive. I am not sure about the 2MB cache thing, but it's got to be. I took delivery of _another_ Titanium with 1GHz (same) and 1G…

Paul, that's the TravelStar I currently have which is now making some intermittant knocking sounds... the obvious sign of decay. I agree, the 12.5mm tall 60GB 5400rpm TravelStar m…

I am going to install a 7,200 in one of the PB next week. It's going to bring at least 25%-40% performance bump. For my daily PB, I can't afford to take it off-line. I will wait u…

Why is it such a big deal to install a new drive in your PowerBook? I guess it could be difficult if you don't have a FW enclosure, but then again, you have two PowerBooks. I'd jus…

Solidly out of the running, I'm going to try to finish my theme off by myself. I'm stealing Cody's idea and posting this in an effort to get some suggestions. Thanks. Before: Af…
