MPC2500 harddisk question

i know some one must have asked this question already, but i can't find any answer to it. I've also read through the manual, but no answer to my question.

What harddrive do i need for the 2500? 2.5" or 3.5"?
What is the biggest possible size? "just" 80GB's?
Do i need a special one like that EXM ram?

I finally got enough money for it, so i just need to know what to buy else.

its 2.5 go to this link scroll down and you will see the list of hard drive that akai recommended.

The 2500 & 1000 use the same HD so you could look here too

I'm using a 40gb drive nabbed from an Apple G4 Ibook. It's working excellent.

Thanks! I got myself a cheap mpc2500 for the price of a 1k, so i can spend the rest of the money on a 120gb hd and kingston ram.

What the maximum height of the drives? i've read it must be 9mm, but are 9.5mm also ok?
Did anyone test a 160gb drive?

The drives have standard form factors, you shouldn't have to worry about the height. You need a 2.5" laptop drive.

make sure its an ATA drive and not an SATA drive

the bastards sent me the wrong one, and i had to spend nuff time on the fone tryina get it sorted

but i'm now happy, got my hard-drive installed works a like a dream

and on a side note my wharfedales and my korg x50 are on their way
