Upgrade HD then what?

<< < (2/2)

AlexP:
You should be able to see from the drive specs the current (in mA probably) it requires to spin up, access, idle, etc.  The higher they are, the less time your batteries will last, so I would pick the one with the lowest.  You can compare with your present drive.  If the spin up current is a lot higher than the present drive, it could not work at all (although I think that unlikely).

Okay will have to check that out, after the change of HD I guess I have to download a new version af Rockbox? I am running a very old version something like 5-6 years...

I am watching a HD on e-bay it says 5V 600 mA DC should this work?

zajacattack:
Yeah, you will definitely want to upgrade (I can't even list the things that have been done in five years!).

He!
