The 2400 can use any of the 9.5-12.5mm drives available. It's usually a good idea to be sure you are getting good contact with the heat sink when installing hte 9.5mm drives, since they are smaller than the OEM design.

A number of folks are running 30-40GB and the largest 80GB will work. One of the easy ways to check is to see what MCE is selling, since they certify the drives for each PowerBook. While the 2400 isn't being upgraded as much by them, they still include it in their compatibility charts.

One thing to watch out for is the drive mounting holes. In my 2300c the brackets had mounting holes for the older style drives (the holes are closer together). I decided at the time not to put in a newer, larger drive as I didn't think the effort was worth it but I might someday. I don't know if the 2400c is the sameway.
