I've been to the shop and the case doesn't supply any info about |
| 15 |
delivered power. It does say it supports hds up to 400GB, though. (I'm |
| 16 |
planning to buy a 250GB Samsung, which seems to have a good |
| 17 |
capacity/price ratio.) The Conceptronic site is not more helpful. I |
| 18 |
suppose it will be buy and try. |
