From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I just bought a Hitachi/IBM IC25N040ATMR04 (Mdl 80GN) 40GB from BananaPC.com
for $107 plus ~$7 shipping. It came quickly and was packed very well.

Ah... the '..040..' seems to identify this as the model with a 4MB buffer:

Still it's a boost from the 2MB models. I wonder how much the performance of the drive might be affected in my 70CT by having a bigger 4MB buffer. And whether or not the model with the 8MB buffer, IC25N080ATMR04, might actually perform significantly better than drives with 2MB buffers.
