I'm finally ready to add a second hard disk. Which should I get?

Tony,
I just added an extra Toshiba HDD myself. The one I got is 12.5mm tall and fits easily inside the Empeg. No reason to base your decision on the physical difference in drive height. Either will fit without any problem. More important are (IMHO):

Shock proofing
Can they withstand the same G-forces as the Toshiba's selected by the empeg team?

Electrical Load
Can the empeg power supply handle the required current? Note that the new 25GB IBMs need a beefed up PS in Mark2.

Noise
Most specs don't tell you how much noise they make. My new 18GB makes a rattling noise and is not as silent as the 6.4GB Toshiba one that the player came with. It's (mine) OK, but if you have a chance, find out before you buy, or gamble.

PS1: I have a spare Videk cable. Do you want it?
PS2: Make sure you have 4 short screws handy to mount the disk. The ones for regular HDDs are too long
