Many thanks in advanced, JP Click to expand... You need an ata-6 or ultra ata drive (the one with a lot of pins as the interface). They are a little hard to come by these days, especially in anything over 100GB. Good luck

TDM21 macrumors 6502a Mar 5, 2009 #4 If your looking to buy from ebuyer then you will have to choose from these drives: http://www.ebuyer.com:80/search?page=1&store=2&cat=4&subcat=19. There is a 250GB drive, but its almost 20 pounds more then the SATA drive. Sad, I know.
