Gracias por el post. Muy buenas las explicaciones.

Una consulta.

Tengo filmadora SONY DRC-SR21 cuyo disco original es Toshiba MKL8034GAL.

Puedo usar un disco de 30GB para reemplazarlo ?

Intenté hacerlo pero al encender la filmadora, vuelve a apagarse.

El disco original es de 500mA y el de 30GB es de 400mA.

Gracias por la ayuda
