The new HD seemed a bit "snappier", but it could have been a bit of wishful thinking after all the hassle involved. It doesn't seem to consume any more battery power. It's just much nicer to have more room. I put the old 10GB HD in an external firewire case. Makes for a nice portable 10 Gig drive. -Guy McMickle On Feb 27, 2004, at 6:29 PM, Jim Shimozawa wrote: > Is the HD speed bump noticeable? > Does your new HD require more battery power? > What have you done with your old 10GB HD?
