Hi Theo,

After reading this reply wait for others to step in to get the full scoop..

I have read in this group that there is a 32GB limitation on some RaQs. You
should have no problem with a 30GB drive. Concern yourself with RPM speed as
a higher RPM speed will result in higher operating temperatures.

Cheers,
Glenn
