Re: Largest Powerbook HD?
The largest capacity 2.5 drive at the moment is the Hitachi 80 gig drive, which is available in 4200rpm and 5400rpm versions. Retail pricing for the 5400rpm version is around the $430 mark, last time I checked. Just think, a couple of years ago a 20 gig laptop drive was pretty big. In another couple of years we'll all have 200 gig storage space in our PowerBooks... /dreamland Regards, Phil The only problem with this is that Office will take up 100 gigs.

Re: Largest Powerbook HD?
I saw recently (can't remember where) that Toshiba were producing/working on a 100GB notebook drive - don't know if/when it's available though. Cheers Neil They seem to be thin on the ground though. Probably going to laptop manufacturers first... http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=/81820007000165981713/8182010e0001659c00 Have fun, Shay -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer Join Team Sungroper in the Opinions for hire [POQ] 2005 World Solar Challenge [EMAIL PROTECTED] fnord http://sungroper.asn.au/
