Re: 701 HD upgrade

[Dominique Pivard <domi@kenavo.fi>]

Hi,

Like the original poster, I'm looking for a replacement drive for my 701.
My criteria are the following:
    1. size between 1 GB and 2 GB
    2. drive must be as quiet as the original IBM 360 MB I still have
    3. price $400-500 max.
I found a number of potentially suitable candidates (listed below). I'd
appreciate recommandations based on personal experience and also
suggestions about a reputable mail order company.

(From http://www.secant.com/sipples/tpad701.htm)
    IBM TravelStar 4LP Model No. DTNA-22160 (2.1 GB)
    IBM TravelStar 4LP Model No. DTNA-21800 (1.8 GB)
    IBM TravelStar 3LP Model No. DCMA-21440 (1.44 GB)
    Maxtor Mobilemax (Laramie) Model No. 251340 (1.3 GB)
    Seagate Marathon 1350SL Model No. ST91350AG (1.3 GB)
    Toshiba Model No. MK-1301MAV (1.3 GB)
    Toshiba Model No. HDD2716CZE01002 (2.1 GB)

    Toshiba  MK1401MAV  1440MB

If anyone has been happy with drives not listed above, please tell me
about them!

Thanks,
