Huge Thank-You and Hard Drive Question

--- Quote from: piscator on September 03, 2008, 01:26:18 PM ---The 100gig mk1011gah drives are available at pretty good prices, but I'd still like to try the 120gig mk1214gah. 

Unless I'm missing something, I can't see any reason the mk1214 wouldn't install just as easily.  Would you agree?

I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work. The Toshiba site is a little vague about the connector type, though...

AlexP:
I have a MK1214GAH in my gigabeat S, and can confirm it is ZIF type (which Toshiba call LIF).

piscator:
Linus and Big Bambi,

Thanks for the follow-up!  I'm going to order the mk1214gah today and give it a try.  I'm going to need more space since:

A friend gave me a pile of jazz tapes and while Coleman Hawkins is 'ripping it up' on 'Body & Soul' -- I'm 'ripping' Coleman to hard disk! :-)

The Kabel adaptor doesn't seem to be available through an English language vendor, so I'll re-read the threads to see what other adaptors might work.

I'll report back on my progress.  Thanks again for the help!

Piscator

P.S. Afternoon Update: I ordered the 'DealXtreme' adaptor. 

'Shopping' for the  Toshiba mk1214gah -- I discovered the Samsung HS161JB/A -- 160gig for less $ than some mk1214gah listings.

Linus, I saw your 2007 notes regarding the unavailability of 160gig drives for iRiver players, but in case you haven't seen this "A" designated Samsung with 'ZIF' connector, here's the link:

TX again, piscator
