What should I be careful of when buying a harddrive for the Iyonix?


Just avoid anything over 128GB, as over that size the machine wont use the
fast UDMA access, and revert to PIO at a tenth of the speed.


or format it down to <128GB .. by altering the number of cylinders formatted

ATM iyonix ship mainly with maxtor 80 or 160gb(formatted down).
the maxtors can be a little fussy about jumpers .. requiring a jumper if master with a slave on the cable, but no jumper if master without a slave on the cable. The disc label usually makes this clear
