 	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.

 	-t
