Do you mean an ancient, Japan-only PowerBook 550c, or do you mean a 550 MHz PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)?

For the latter, any manufacturer that makes such drives will do, although my personal favorite is Hitachi (formerly IBM).

For the former, forget it.

Does the 550 Mhz model take a 2.5" drive?

TIA
