Interchangable hd's

#1 Post by SUSIEJO » Fri Jun 22, 2007 10:49 pm

I read the thread on hd but I still have to ask,
I have a tp 600, a tp 600e and a tp t20, will the same hd's work in all three. ( I don't mean swapping one hd between the three)
I mean the same size and connections.
I guess basically I need to know if they have the same connection.

Thanks!

They all have 40-pin IDE interfaces, but the speed of the older HDs may be quite slow. They should fit.
T20/21/22s take both 9mm and 12mm high HDs.
T23s only take 9mm HDs.
You may need to swap the HD-cage.
