Powerbook Harddrive

I was wondering if this HD was compatible with a PB G4?

I know the old drive was ATA, but this one is Ultra ATA. Any difference?

Thanks

Yep...should be fine. Ultra ATA/100 and ATA-6 are the same thing.

One more thing.

Which would be better, the Western Digital above or this Samsung Spinpoint M Series?

I don't know anything about these drives in particular, but the Samsung one seems to have better reviews.

I'm a fan of Seagate drives myself, but there are lots of other good ones out there.

Sorry to ask, but those would work with the last rev. iBook G4s right?
Thankx

Word.

Looks like I'm upgrading the stock HD sooner rather than later; Leopard here I come!
Edit: Nevermind, they don't ship to Canada. Blarghhh
