Hi. I have one of these.
Bought a 10GB expansion bay HD for about $60. Took it apart. Sold the 10GB HD on ebay for about $60. :-) Bought a 40GB drive from newegg.com for about $140. Put it into the expansion bay and now have a total of 70GB on my Pismo. Very nice. Speed is like that of any other hard drive. No difference that I can tell because it's in an expansion bay.
