Bigger Drive for 788

[Snagglefinger]

I remember back on the old Tascam bbs some people were swapping out their hardrives on their 788's for much larger ones.

Does anyone know which ones were deemed to be the best? I know that low heat and noise are pretty critical requirements.

Any info would be appreaciated.

I'll refer you to a recent thread which should get you in the right direction. There is a kink there to a site where you can compare drives based on heat, noise, etc..

I just popped in a 60 gig Hitachi after upgrading to v 2.02. It's very easy to change out the hard drive.

Great. Thanks for the info. Hopefully I'll get one for X-mas!

Also, does anyone know if an ATA 133 drive is OK to use? The last update on the Tascam FAQ was in Feb. 2002. They don't mention ATA 133's, and I'm a computer dullard that doesn't know much about this stuff at all.
