I know the topic has been here before, but does anyone have experience using a non IMB or Hitachi notebook drives, or even a larger capacity drive for the print sytems on KM-3035's and KM-5530's? I was able to get an exact model 6gig drive about 6 months ago and it worked fine, but now the supplier can't seem to get them anymore.Anyone? Bueller?

I used a 20gig western digital harddrive that I bought in a local store. That was over a year ago and it's still going strong. Funny thing is KM charges $485 and I paid $70. Others on here say they have used even larger drives like 40gig. Just be sure to set the jumpers to "cable select".

Ive heard alot about using store bought HDDs, how do you goys do it? I mean how do you get the HDD to interface with the machine and so on?

If the machine already had a harddrive, the interface is there. If not, KM sells them, it's just a short IDE cable just like in your computer

How 'bout the card that the HDD are mounted on for print systems?

I have used 20Gb CanRam drives from memory experts.
