Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Have lots of old Sata and IDE 2.5" lying around, only issue is I'm not sure which Sata to IDE adapter to buy for the 4000. All the links are old with search, and there's a few options to choose from. Also will 5400 matter at all, as 7200 = more noise / power use.

Hi,

don't care about 7200rpm disks, the MPC's IDE port is slow as hell and you won't get any advantages from fast disks. Some time ago, I checked several 2,5" IDE disks and the only one which worked was a Western Digital hd.

Use the search function to find this info.

Best, TSR

Thanks for 5400 nod, but more importantly I needed info on the sata to IDE adapter.
