    I've looked through the archives, and the models that are stated, I can't find them listed most places. Does anyone have some current stock numbers or models for me to get a new 7200rpm 100+ GB unit?

    If you are replacing the hard drive in your caddy I recomend the Samsung HM160HC
    It has very good performance
    Its a 5400rpm 160gb ide drive that is the best available
    Hitachi made a 7200rpm ide drive , but its been discontinued

    HI,
    I just finished researching drives for my CF-29 and I can confirm tomcat that 7200 IDE drives are, at best, rare and maybe not available. Hitachi has discontinued. I bought an Hitachi Travelstar 5400 RPM 100 GB drive.
