Hard Disk Upgrade

#1 Post by Rene.Lochmann » Fri Oct 15, 2004 2:36 am

I have a A31 (2652-M5G) which was delivered with a 40GB hard drive two years ago. Now, I would like to upgrade the notebook with a 60 or 80GB hard drive. I am looking for a hard drive that is not too noisy, but fast enough. Any recommendations? Would the Hitachi Travelstars be a good choice? What about the rpm (7200, 5400, 4200)?

Thanks for any hints.

Rene

Hitachi 7K60 or 5K80, either will work just fine.

Regards,

recommend the Hitachi 7K60, I just put one in my old A22m and I can't believe the difference it makes compared to a 4200 RPM drive.
