Quick Question re Hard Drive

Hi friends

I am thinking about putting a new hard drive into my PA1XPro. I know some of you have done this and I wondered if there are any specific requirements for the drive other than the obvious like 2.5" laptop drive etc...

Thanks for any advice

Cheers

Pete

I built in a 80GB with 7.200 r.p.m - very quick

Hitachi HTE721080G9AT00 (Travelstar E7K100, 24/7)

Sorry for the silly question but what size drive comes with the Pa1Xpro?

Guys, can we change the drive to an SSD ?
I mean its the fastest HD,s now on the market, 8 GB shuld be ok for me!
Is this gonna make the KB loading time faster?
Can the PAX recognize this HD like the one in side.
If so its great for the loading time!
Any idea?

think not because the controller will not be able to manage this

like in copy machines maybe you can use an interface and CF-Card - but this is much slower than a harddisk.
