Exchange tips and tricks for the Akai MPC4000

Which harddrive is the MOST secure, trustful, DONT-KNOW-HOW-TO-CRASH Harddrive you can get to the MPC4000?

I have had this IBM Deskstar 40 GB which has now "totally" crashed (I have a topic about this) and now I want to buy a new one, the best....

Do you know which that is?

IBM Deskstars are notoriously known to crash, they're even called IBM Deathstar. If I remember correctly these were the models that the 4000 was shipped with. I put a Seagate 120gb in mine. The reason I chose Seagate was because a friend of mine that worked at a big computer parts store told me they were the LEAST returned drives and IBM's were the MOST returned drives. And Seagates are quiet too. But the sad truth is that all hd's can die and will die eventually so backup backup backup!

Can someone give model number (or links) on "IDE Harddrives 80 or 120 gb" from SEAGATE or WESTERN DIGITAL that you know works on the MPC4000? The combitibility LIST I found on the net, was an old one...

Feel Free to drop Modelnumbers or a combitibility LIST for the MPC4000!

The 120 gig Western Digital Special Edition (8MB cache) works for sure.
