Ben, thanks so much for posting this article in such a timely manner.First, can you confirm that 128GB is the limit due to the PATA bus so no use putting in any drive bigger than 128GB?Second, after upgrading the disk, were there any more noise due to more fan use or heat issues?Third, any hints that Apple will support external USB drive in the next firmware release?Charles
