Re: [cobalt-users] [RaQ3i] hardrive replacement, part 2



I've been told that I need to get a 20G, 33-DMA drive, for a
"straigh-across"  replacement, but what I'm finding shoping around is
that most stores in my  area only cary 100-DMA drives now.  Would it be
impossible, or ill-advised to put a 20G, 100-DMA drive in it's place?

I think it should work fine - 100-DMA drives should just fall back to 33-DMA. But in your RAQ manual Cobalt quote the other specifications and other posts I have seen advise against drives faster than 5400rpm (probably due to increased head production).

Thanks...
