When I had an 1800 series, I changed the standard 15GB 4200rpm drive for a 5400rpm 30GB (then IBM) Travelstar. A bit faster and absolutely no problem. The laptop has since been sold on and it's still fine. |

| Re: Toshiba Satellite 1800 Virtually any 2.5" IDE drive will work. That model came in a ton of configurations covering a huge range of capabilities from very low end to very high end. They all look the same but can be very different internally. g8mqw******.com wrote: > Folks, > Been passed a Toshiba Satellite 1800 to look at. It has goosed Hard > Drive.
