Basically we wanted to do a 5400 upgrade, but the drives are about 150 dollars for the most part. We just got the 120 7200 Maxtor from CC and if my hubby gets the 22 back from Circuit City, we will be down around 70 or so. That is quite a savings. We want to use this drive for a new drive for our Replay 2000 series unit. I know they run noisier and hotter (this sucker is already pretty hot). But if we do this and it gets too hot, then what? Just take it out and put in the original and all will be well? Or have some of you had your units become paperweights because of this? Has there been permenant damage? Have most that did the 7200 option put in an extra fan (not sure we want to try that)? I am sure many will appreciate some info on this as we get this Circuit City/Office Max Deal.
Thanks. Cari
