If they fit, they must be the MKV. (Or some permutation of those letters.
Call Toshiba and get them to fax you the list of 2.5 drives) You need the
12.7mm drives, not the 19mm models.

I'm using a Quantum. I had to put holes in the top of the case, but it works
fine. Suspend works, can't tell you about password.

In Road Warrior's defense, they provide a lot more support and info than
most hole-in-the-wall drive outlets, so if they seem reluctant to do the
research for you and them give you sufficient info to go buy the drive
somewhere else for $2 less, I can sympathise.
