does anyone know...

who makes the hard drives apple uses in its newest powerbooks? like the manufacturer?

*ignore*

I am pretty sure Apple still uses IBM Hard drives in their powerbooks, At least that is what I have found in the majority that I have taken apart. Correct me if I am wrong guys I haven't taken apart any of the newer aluminum books.

cool thanks for the replies

My 15" AluBook uses a Toshiba hard drive

I've got a Toshiba in my old 12" PB too.

You can check the manufacturer of the HD and CD/DVD drive in any Mac you have physical access too with the Apple System Profiler (Apple Menu > About This Mac> More Info)

mine is made by Fujitsu - it's new, perhaps 3 months old?

Toshiba makes them in the current 12" PowerBooks, that's all I know.

I have a 17 inch alum (its like 2 months old) and it has a toshiba
