What's the best hard drive to put in my T30?

#1 Post by casinoexec » Wed Nov 28, 2007 10:13 pm

I have the OEM 40 GB in there now but it's just about full. I'd like at least an 80 preferably a 120. Are all laptop hard drives compatible? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

You can put any HD that is not marked as SATA...as for everything else, you have to decide on your budget and size and fish for the best combination...personally, I like Seagate, but there are many other good drives around...

Good luck.
