Mac Forum / General / Portable Macs / July 2004Upgrading Prismo drive.
I am thinking of upgrading my hard-drive. What I wish to know, is can I use any 2.5 inch laptop hard-drive? and or, what the requirements to upgrade? > I am thinking of upgrading my hard-drive.

AppleCentre thought I would need a ATA66 (6GB or 10GB) to go in it, but an ATA100 (30, 40GB...) will work. I put a FUJITSU MHT2030AT 30GB ATA100 in a Lombard, and swapped (temporarily) into the Pizmo a few months back, now lives in my TiPB.

I think you will find useful information at http://xlr8yourmac.com I used this site before I put an IBM Travelstar 48GB disk in my old Pismo (of course IBM has sold their disk drive business :-) Bob Harris > I am thinking of upgrading my hard-drive.

I've heard that the ATA-6 interfaces are problematic, so I stuck with an ATA-5. A 5400 RPM drive with a lot of cache makes a *very* big difference in the performance on this machine.

If you want/need install info, I wrote a set of instructions here, maybe a year ago or so. Unfortunately, I didn't save them on my machine, but you should be able to find them in the archives here. If you look and don't find them, holler back and I'll see if I can remember any more about the thread, or maybe reconstruct the instructions.
