[ltp] OT: HD upgrade recommendations?

[Daishi Harada]

Perhaps I'm being blind, but I can't seem to locate the discussion
that you're referring to. I saw a discussion on disk geometry
settings, and also one on second hd's and lilo, but none on this
topic.

What I've been worried about is that although there are a variety of
2.5" hds available, they seem to vary in height (~9mm-13mm?), and I
haven't been able to find out what a 560X wants. (The only ones that
seem to explicity say "560x compatible" are the Apricorn's). Also,
does the height have to be exactly right? Presumably a thinner one
would fit just fine; do people manually "pad" the drive so that it
doesn't rattle around?

Thanks,
d
