I have a 40GB drive in my HP laptop and it's silent and seems fast enough. I briefly daydreamed of a bigger one or a second drive and discovered that local shops don't even know that laptop drives larger than 20GB exist. Prices locally will be sky high. I think IBM made a 120GB laptop drive, but I haven't seen them advertised recently. Go online and be sure of availability before you commit the order. > -----Original Message----- > From: tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org > [mailto:tclug-list-admin at mn-linux.org]On Behalf Of Brian D.
