Date: Wed, 21 Jul 2004 17:13:57 +0200 I put a 80Gb Hitachi travelstar 3 months ago in my JBFMR, and it's working great. I saw a real difference with the original 20Gb Hitachi travelstar drive that was in it, which was very sensible to motion indeed. Not this one. Anyway i think it's a 5400 rpm, which is not necessary for the JB.
