TICKET ARCHIVE -> Can I Upgrade My 30gb Hd to 100gb? Using a 800mhz G3 Ibook

macosxisgreat - Apr 29, 2005 - 12:54 am

Hi, I'm running tight on disk space with my default 30GB HD. Any idea if I can bring my iBook into a local Apple store and have them replace my 30GB HD with a 100GB one? Also, any specific 100GB HDs you'd recommend for a 800GHz G3 iBook if this is indeed possible? Oh and one last thing, how much do you think it'd cost to have someone at a Apple store do this excluding the cost of buying a 100GB HD? Sorry for all the questions, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jone

Take a look on this page for prices of hard drives for your iBook, this will give you an idea;

The best thing to do is call the Apple store and ask about the price. It will probably be higher than elsewhere.

On this page you'll see User groups. Scroll down to the Mac groups. Your best bet would be to call one, they have local phone numbers. They'll be able to help with your area;
