I'm surprised I didn't see that when I searched OWC's site. That's a good deal. Thanks, Chris. On Thursday, November 27, 2003, at 04:01 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: on 27/11/2003 04:13, G-Books at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OWC sells its Mercury 2.5 case with firewire cable but no AC adapter

I replaced the stock 10GB drive in my Pismo/400 with a Travelstar 40GNX 40GB, 5400 RPM model a couple months ago and have had no trouble with it at all. The Pismo seems a bit peppier with the new drive and it is definitely quieter. I would definitely recommend the upgrade (but I would go as

I always go to Transinternational's site. Having done an upgrade twice (to 30gb and just today to 60gb 7200 rpm). Only real concern is to take care when removing and reinstalling the daughtercard. Those pins are really small and you can (or at least I did) bend a couple. Gary On Tuesday,
