Need new HDD - 02/07/2007 15:20
Is there any drive that is recommended for a replacement? I have a Mk2 and my IBM Travelstar 30Gb I added a few years ago died. The original 12Gb is still cranking away though.
I noticed the dead one is a 4200RPM, is there any issue with 5400RPM or even 7200RPM being used?
Thanks!

Jeez, I swear I looked at all the FAQs that pertained to drives, but I missed that entire paragraph. Thanks, Tony!!!

Of course, that paragraph was coming at the question from a different side: It assumes someone is considering spending money on a faster drive just for performance reasons. You asked the opposite question: You already own a faster drive, so would it be a problem? I hope the paragraph was clear enough about saying that the speed of the drive doesn't matter at all.
