No problem for either drive or sleep/awakening for either drive in 2400s. I
use both now. Both drives are quiet and nearly as fast as the IBM 32gb 5400
rpm drive in the real world. The 20 gb is a much better deal on $/gb ratio.
It's so cheap now I use it for "removable" backup storage in an external
PCMCIA. (No need for Zips, Jazz or Orbs).
