Being the cautious type, I wanted to keep that, and so looked to replace the whole drive. I chose a nice Seagate 120Gb from ebuyer, product 124241, which I got for just over £30 (ex. VAT) as a special.
Specs wise;
| Product Description | Seagate Momentus 5400.3 ST9120822A - hard drive - 120 GB - ATA-100 |
| Type | Hard drive - internal |
| Form Factor | 2.5" x 1/8H |
| Dimensions (WxDxH) | 7 cm x 10 cm x 9.5 mm |
| Weight | 102 g |
| Capacity | 120 GB |
| Interface Type | ATA-100 |
| Data Transfer Rate | 100 MBps |
| Average Seek Time | 12.5 ms |
| Spindle Speed | 5400 rpm |
| Buffer Size | 8 MB |
The 'safe' bits are that it's more or less the same spec as the Tosh that was there already, specifically, ATA-100.
I have an external USB 2.5" caddy, so popped it in there, and I 'initialised' it with Windows XP quite happily.
