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.
Seems the price has already gone up to $112:

I'm still worried about the clicking issue Lee. Was that a problem for only one Travelstar you have, or for all of them.
I also found this 5200RPM Toshiba MK4019GAX listed on Davids website:

I'm sure the startup power consumption must be along the same lines of 4.7W of the Hitachi IC25N040ATMR04. But its read & write consumption of 2.5W is a significantly higher than the 2.0/2.1W for the Hitachi.
Hitachi specs:

5200RPM is really tempting for ripping MP3s... but as you pointed out Lee, can the L70/L100 or L110 deal with the heat?
Anyone else have any experience with 40GB HDDs?
Matt
