although this is somewhat new technology, i don't think they are developing this (from what i've read) for laptops yet. i can be wrong.

I just got it about an hour ago and its installed already with some samples ready to use. Thanks for the help.

I guess you can add this one to the list of drives that work. Peace

working fine.

edit- was working fine on 1.07, since 2.01 been having some problems.
not sure if it's the drive or the os right now. maybe best to stay away from this one for the time being.

because we are treating this thread like the the CF card RAM thread.

For all of those that got a 100GB HDD installed with the os 2.0.
Does the MPC recognize all the available space ?
