Just wondering if my Z1 requires a particular brand of hard drive. I want to replace my 30GB with a 40GB or 60GB. My common sence tells me that as long as it's ATA and 5400rpm's I shouldn't have any problems. But my common sence has been wrong in the past so I have decided to seek hlep here.

Thanks...

Any Toshiba MK****GAX IDE/EIDE (5400rpm) hard drive will work great.

You can fill in the first two blanks with 40, 60 or 80 for the corresponding gigs. The remaining two blanks are usually 19 or 26.

Toshiba MK****GAS will also work but are slower at 4200 rpm. Seek time is the same 12ms for both types.
