[Ti] System Drive problem

[James Herndon]

I've been happy with a 120 MB Seagate internal drive from MacSales (www.macsales.com 
), chosen because it was, in 2005, the largest capacity available in  
dimensions suited to the powerbook. Here is the confirmation, but be  
aware that price, item number, and availability may have changed.  
Faster drives were available but I opted for larger size at that time.

Item Number: SEAST9120821A
Description: 120GB 2.5- Seagate Momentus 5400.2 ATA Notebook drive  
with 8MB Cache - New with 5 Year Seagate Warranty.
Price: $259.99
