Call me an ignoramous if you want, but if anyone can answer me this: There is no way that apple can prevent, say, a perpendicular type of HD from working with this setup, right? As long as it has the same IDE connector? thnx
It will work with any HD, that can be converted to the laptop IDE cable.
SDD would work. Also if you hacked up a cable and put it to a desktop-IDE cable end, and had some way to power the drive then you could use a desktop drive... It'd look kinda wonky, but they just released new 1TB drives...
