However I think that the 5300 cant address drives beyond 8GB - so anything larger will be seen only as 8GB. So far Apple's drive setup has worked fine with every HD ive used. Alternatives include Silverlining or FWB. You will need a Torx T-8 screwdriver to open the powerbook, but otherwise it shouldn�t be too hard.
