Re: Largest drives available for A1000

I did buy some 73's on eBay as well but it turned out they were 1.3 inch drives and not one inch so they don't fit the A1000 at all.  I'm going to have to find one of those small desktop boxes to hold them (might as well use them).  I'll see if I can search some more on eBay and find some thinner drives.  Were the drives you bought 80 pin SCA?  Two A1000's to fill eventually, lots of drives to get.
