I remember when the first IBM clones were all the rage because you could open them up and upgrade. It's one of the main reasons Apple only has a 5% market share of PCs today.

Could the upgrade feature be growing in the MP3 underground world?

Could this be one of the reasons we keep selling out?

Milplease, according to Hitachi's spec sheets, there is a negligible difference in power consumption between the 20 GB and 80 GB versions of the Travelstar. We're talking .1 to .3 watts difference. Both models require a 5 VDC supply and are rated at 2.0 - 2.3 watts for seek/read/write operation and 4.7 watts to spin up. Both have the same physical dimenions (9.5 x 70 x 100 mm); the Toshiba drive used in iPods is 8 x 54 x 78 mm.
