Powerbook G4 Hardrive recomendation

[Lukeyboy01]

Hi all,

I am interested in buying a hardrive for a Powerbook G4 12'' which i plan to buy. I need at least 250GB of space, speed and reliability.

Thanks,
Luke

WD's Scorpio Blue. 500GB, 5400rpm but performance is same as 7200rpm drives.

Remember a PowerBook isn't SATA.

Oh, dang

Hmm.. Is it IDE then? There are plenty of IDE HDs from WD as well. Caviar Blue is P-ATA, does that work?

Yea, I think so. If you can buy it from store (not online) try to make a open deal, because it's always possible that it isn't

Macsales.com has plenty of IDE/PATA Hard drives.
