The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email NomadJukebox.net has the 6 gb 9.5mm laptop drives back in, I have bought several of these drives and all were really good drives. These are the drives that come out of the MP3 players for larger drives. http://www.nomadjukebox.net/6gbfujlaphar.html $49.99 + Shipping 05-24-2002 11:07:48

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) zmoz Profile That's cheap, but ebay's cheaper...I bought a new 9mm 12 gig drive for $51+shipping a short time ago... 05-24-2002 15:27:08

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email Perhaps, but these drives are all but new and are good drives with Toshiba warrenty. You never know what you might get on eBay. I don't mind paying $10 extra if I know what I am getting. I still feel the pain from a eBayer named MaryEEE@Aol.com that stuck me with a minus $200 after I "won" 5 auctions of her's of hard drives that I had to sent back all the drives to her because they were bad and then a month later she left the country. Ebay wouldn't do much since she sent me the drives from the auction and PayPal told me that I would receive my money back when ever funds would become available, I am still waiting. Fyi - GoogleGear.com has good prices too on new drives http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/ProductList.jsp?ThirdCategoryCode=011006 05-24-2002 20:31:01

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) hwhack Profile I clicked on the nomadjukebox link and I was presented with a screen to buy a Fujitsu 6GB drive. Fujitsu != TOSHIBA. Buyer beware... 05-28-2002 09:33:59

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) BigDog Profile | Email Yes, it looks like they have changed it now. I don't know much quality of the Fujitsu drives, the Toshiba's that there were good (very quiet, fast, and so far dependable). 05-29-2002 06:01:09

I don't know much quality of the Fujitsu drives, the Toshiba's that there were good (very quiet, fast, and so far dependable)." I have had a Fujitsu 8 Gig for over a year now, realy quite, the CPU fan makes more noise. And I have not had any errors when testing. 06-04-2002 19:22:01

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) h2oboxer Profile Actually a better option is on the Toshiba 20GB HDD. See http://www.nomadjukebox.net/20gighardriv.html 06-07-2002 10:02:37

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email IMHO, Fujitsu notebook drives are better than most Toshibas of similar vintage. They're quieter, consume lower power and have lower failure rates, in my experience. I've seen a fair number of dead Toshibas in the 1G to 4G range, but no Fujitsus so far. 06-08-2002 12:54:30

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Looking at the trashed end aspect,(My pile of junk notebook drives) I've noted that IBM is the one I find the most and for some reason they usually are not fixable (Bad heads or mechanical failure) wipe or zap won't work on them. Fujitsu and Toshiba are pretty much even and most of the time they can be repaired (if there is no mechanical or disk surface damage) by using an old (V1) Quantum zero fill utility. Least frequently found is Hitachi and believe it or not, Seagate. Just going by what I find. 06-08-2002 21:14:08

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) apaulo Profile | Email 02U2, where can I find the Quantum zero fill utililty ? (v1) thanks 06-13-2002 19:24:52

RE:The 6 Gb Toshiba laptop drives are back at NomadJukeBox.Net (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile apaulo, I believe this is similar,Here Scroll down a bit... Lots of interesting HIGHLY RECOMMENDED reading. Look for, Low Level Format Utility (LF.EXE) 06-13-2002 23:42:57
