I have an IBM 5150 with an XTIDE v2. I've been using a an old 10GB Maxtor hard drive with it but the drive sometimes doesn't seem to function (stiction? dying drive?) so I'd like to replace it with something more reliable and something that makes a lot less noise (the whine coming from it is incredible). What does everyone recommend?
I know there are DOM but they seem to be expensive and hard to find in the 40 pin format (although 44 pin DOMs are cheap and there are are adapters).
I see there are CF adapters, but I've heard those are mostly Chinese junk these days. Is there a good brand/dealer to go with?
I also came across SD card to IDE adapters but I don't know if they'll work with an XTIDE (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QNB6QLC/ or https://www.ebay.com/itm/284019856938)
