I've got a Mark1 #43 that after 6 years of faithful service has a slowly dying hd. I'm shopping for a replacement and after reading the FAQ it seems that it must be no thicker than 19mm. Is there a brand/model(s) that meets that requirement or must one investigate each possibility?

Also, will any modern drive fit the Mark1 cable?

Running Hijack v2.

PS. It's been dying for a year now and a couple months back it stopped saving the current playlist through a power cycle. I read that info is stored in a special partition. Related to the hd failure ya think?

PPS. The nature of the failure is pretty classic. Longer access/read times, occasional hang accessing drive, etc.
