Hiya Morris,
I'm loving the 60GB Toshiba I put in my 2300. It has a 16MB cache
which makes virtual RAM seem quite nice (as long as I leave it under about
8MB). I'd say that drive is going well.
It's a fast drive which means it runs a bit warm at 5400 RPM, and
it draws a bit more power than some since it runs at a 5V and 1 Amp.
