Re: upsizing my external HD

thanks john. i have a lacies 500 and 1tb as well. but the 250 case is so big because its old that i opened it up and want to swap out the actual 3.5" hard drive with a new one. the one that is in there is a seagate 250gb 7200.8 rpm ultra ata. so my question is can i put any ultra ata hard drive in there? i found a seagate 750gb 7200.10rpm drive, would this work you think?

zaf88,

Yes, any drive will do as long as it has the same interface (i.e. SATA II).
