Previously Justin said:I have a Sony TR5 - and here is a picture of the drive currently in there.
Its 30G so obviously I need something bigger.

What type of connector is this and will the Toshiba MK1214GAH work?
This seems to be a standard 2.5" IDE connector (2mm raster distance
and power lines included). As to whether the disk will
work, there are basically two aspects:
1) Will it fit mechanically? Some Nptebook vendors plan specifically
for a sidsk and to not respect the general 2.5" disk size.
Sony _is_ an offender here. I had an SR11k, that I neded to take a
saw to in order to put a new disk in. They had incorrectly
assumed the space over the connector would be free.
2) Will the BIOS support it? No way to know without trying it
or finding somebody that has tried. 30GB is below the 32GB
limit, so the BIOS could have that limit.

Also the cutouts on the left and the right are not. Seems a
standard-sized 2.5" disk will not fit here. Sony hardware sucks.
My SR11k died after 2 years of light usage because of two
major design faults.

Ooh, shock horror.
Is that all.
Duh, **** the fact that it has a female connector rather than a male one.
Babblebot, your observations are uncanny, as always.
Is there some bad blood 'round these parts?
I won't argue Sony hardware sucks, I bought this thing cheap. I can't
afford a decent laptop now. But I'll get a refurb Powerbook at the end
of this quarter maybe.

Then you were more lucky than me. I bought my Vaio at a somewhat
reduced price, but by no means cheap.

Well... I'm glad you kids brought that into my thread.
Since I don't know the history of the conflict can the two of you
killfile me or something?
I'd rather have people who know what they're talking about
rather than two people acting like junior high kids piss
and moan at each other.

Not into that sort of juvenile stunt myself.
You have always been, and always will be, completely and utterly irrelevant.
