which 2.5 drive is it that will work perfect with the empeg?

basically "all of them" but in keeping with your subject line, the answer would be...

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.

...and don't forget that the empeg can actually support 2 drives - so 48gb*2

...Still (barely, pending 1.1 release) proud to have owned an Empeg since 00287

Empeg can only recomend the ones they use and have tested I guess, however I have a couple of IBM 32gig's in mine, since last december. 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.

Greetings!

Has anyone actually seen these drives on sale yet? I have been looking, but cannot find anyone selling them.
