[QUOTE="crisrose, post: 91284"] Right, i've had enough of my weedy 30Gb Hard Drive in my 1.2Ghz 12" iBook! I wish i'd known how good the iBook was going to be, because i would have ordered it with a 60Gb hard drive and used it as my main computer... Well i'm getting a 60Gb iPod Photo next month, and as i can only sync it with one computer, i'm moving my 25Gb music collection to my iBook as well as my 15Gb Photo Collection so the iBook can be the main machine. I've just ordered the following from Ebuyer (UK): Toshiba MK1031GAS 100GB 4200rpm ATA-100 70mm x 100mm x 9.5mm 98g [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=6022241585&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3NwZWNpZmljYXRpb25z&product_uid=78462[/url] I know it's a bit of a price jump from the 80Gb prices, but the 20Gb difference is more capacity that i had on the machine when i got it, and if i'm gonna crack it open, i want the most space for my effort. Hopefully when i reinstall OSX i'll be able to specify the components a bit better than when it came pre-installed on the iBook. As far as i know, no one has published a guide to this, so if i have time (which i have very little of at the moment) i will stick some photos up. The 70Gb jump to 100GB will go well with my 1280MB Ram :robot: [/QUOTE]
