ibook G3 Dual-USB Hard Drive Question.

Hello,
I want to upgrade the hard drive on my dual usb ibook G3. Will any brand of 2.5" laptop hard drive work?

it should use any of the newer hard drives

Any brand should pretty much work, I don't know the thickness of the drive in it, but if you were to get something like a 100GB ATA drive off of newegg/ebay/amazon/whatever_store_around, it should work. Most hard drives are set to master by default, so it should be pretty much a drop-in install.

Just open the ibook first to see what thickness you need (like, 1/8, 1/4" Drives (i think that those are the sizes)) and then check online or at the store to see if you can match one up.
