Wtb: 3.5" Hd

[Sutekidane]

I'm looking to buy a ATA133 IDE internal HD for an older imac computer. Here's what I'm looking for:

-At least 30GB.
-7200RPM
-Good condition/working perfectly.
-No old drives, within reason.
-no 2.5" or SATA drives.
-Quiet is a plus.

I'm looking to spend around $20, I really don't need something new, but I need something that is reliable and that works.

If its the iMac G3 slot-loaders, I dont recommend a 7200rpm. I have one in mine, and it gets very, very hot.

What about a tray loader? My friend bought a 7200 RPM ATA drive that he wants me to install in his iMac 333. :eek:

have a 60gb 7200rpm in a purple 400 slot loader. ran hot before the drive, runs hot after the drive. love the smell of old electronics working hard! :eek: been running on and off for several years this way. just FWIW.

Actually the newer 7200rpm drives run the same temp as the year 2000-2002 OEM iMac G3 4200rpm drives. I have a 120gb 7200 drive in an iMac g3 500 with 1 gig of ram. Runs very fast and heat is not an issue.
