Well My external Drive is Due for replacing. The thing uses a NEC brand drive
(I can easially pull the drive from the external case)

It seems like i could easially put in another drive in the case
(Just Plug it in) Put do all "Drives" have the same configuration
in the "connectors" ? 

I saw some IBM drives for sale cheap, and am just wondering
if i can get one, rip it apart and put the drive in my External
case..

(I'm attempting to save $$$$$)
