The 48gb IBM Travelstar 2.5" drive. If you want to know where to buy, dig into ibm's website. They provide links to favored online retailers. --glenn _________________________ Glenn

The unit gets used everyday in the cars. Only problem might be that some of the bigger drives have higher spin rate, hence perhaps generating more heat. - -- Rod, UK Mk2 64gig Red S/No.341 2xDell RioReceiver _________________________ - -- Rod, UK
