Hi,

Firstly try searching the forums for 'hard drive/disk'.

You may want to post a question like this in the General section of the forums instead.

Also be sure to read the FAQ linked at the top of the page.

Good luck!

Any laptop harddrive (9.5mm). Hitachi Travelstar doesn't seem to be too bad. I've used them for years in my empeg. Remember that the player can't make use of a high rpm drive and it just generates heat and will be more power hungry. Lower rpm ones will be fine.

Just to clarify, you can put a 7200RPM drive in if you really want but there is no point since the empeg doesn't need it.

And for that matter, even 11-12mm drives are usually fine .
