Vincent,
Thanks for your info.
Yes, I would like to replace the internal, probably keep the original 20 Gig
in an external case (it's still good).
I will probably get the IBM 40 Gig, 5400  although I'm thinking of waiting
to see how the new Hatachi/IBM drives look like.
‹meanwhile, my hard disk space is rapidly shrinking! (thanks to iTunes!)
