Hiralal, We are a 3rd party vendor of 2.1gb HDDs for IBM machines. If you quoted the pricing correctly, the price quoted you for the 2fb drive is around what we now chage for our 3gb drive. The 2.1gb we sell is the Toshiba, a very high quality drive. Our drive for the TP760 comes in the additional HDD Caddy. I am sending you our upgrade catalog for your system. BTW - Did you know that we can make the IBM systems hold a Total of 5 to 6gb of HDD Storage Space? By installing a 2.1gb or 3gb HDD internally (current maximum depending on system) and a 3gb HDD in our Parallel Port or PC Card Slot External HDD Shell (current maximum), you can achieve a Total of 6 or 5gb of Storage Space. We also have CPU upgrades for many of the IBM line. Please contact me if you hav any other questions or needs.

But he tried to convince me that I would be better off buying a third party 2.0G disk made by a company called CMF. The prices quoted were $1184 for the IBM 2.1G disk v/s $919 for the CMF 2.0G disk. Has anyone had any positive/negative experience with using third party disks on 760CD? Are there any other third party disk choices besides CMF? Other than the price, what are some other pro's and con's of using third party disks? I am sure using them would surely have an effect on the machine warranty! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
