Whilst looking on eBay I found a SmartDisk FireLite 2.5 Inch enclosure for a 2.5 inch HDD. I am just a little uncertain about what disk this needs to run from my iBook on Jaguar. Is there any particular 2.5 inch disk which I need? There are some on eBay...

IBM 30gb HDD Model No IC25N030ATCS04-0 (�60)
Fujitsu 30 gb (�83)
Toshiba MK4018GAS 40GB (�90)

If any of these will work, or you know of any others that will please let me know.

My iBook HDD is 30GB so I'm looking for at least this much so I can back-up if I need to as well as storing extra.

Thanks a lot
Ben

Any 2.5 inch hard drive should fit in the case. It's just that simple.

Ok, thanks, I wasn't sure if I needed a certain drive for mac, but I guess I just format it with Disk Utility.

That's exactly right. There are no special "Mac" drives. Disk Utility will format it.
