I had a 10gb on my 2400 and it worked just fine. No data loss. No random
crashing. It ran just fine. That man is full of shit.

hi
if you intend to ever use scsi disk mode to hoook the 2400 up to a Mac
desktop as a external drive you can not use a drive bigger than 4 gb.
Some folks found 4.3 gb ibm drives would not even work... massive data loss
may occour. ymmv
one can find 4 gb apple branded drives on ebay
better to blow off scsi disk mode and gett a bigger drive.
a 5400 rpm may be generating too much heat so I would shy away from that
Again ymmv
I used a 10 gb from a newer powerbook that I put a larger drive into.
Look on Dealmac.com
there was a 5400 60gb drive for $135
that would be outrageous !! MAybe Hot would be the word.
Bon

Hiya Morris,
I'm loving the 60GB Toshiba I put in my 2300. It has a 16MB cache
which makes virtual RAM seem quite nice (as long as I leave it under about
8MB). I'd say that drive is going well.
It's a fast drive which means it runs a bit warm at 5400 RPM, and
it draws a bit more power than some since it runs at a 5V and 1 Amp.
