Hoiwever, when you compare that 10GB Toshiba with the 2GB unknown drive that the Wallstreet came stock with, suddenly that 10GB Toshiba doesn't seem too bad at all. Much quieter than the 2GB, also seems to perform faster. Except for two things: firstly, the Toshiba seems to want to thermally recalibrate every few seconds. Secondly, the drive is palpably HOTTER RUNNING than the OEM drive. Otherwise, I'm a happy camper. The fact the drive was FREE...a castoff from a guy who just bought a Pismo and had upgraded to a Hitachi (aka IBM) Travelstar...is the topper. -.\\<-H- -- Michelle Klein-Hass Box 2273, Van Nuys, CA 91404-2273 Brought to you by Linux, KDE and KMail...try it, you'll like it! -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
