    Hi

    I just wanted to ask cause i want to upgrade

    What is the maximum HDD that the 5920G can handle??

    Because i want to make the internal 160GB as external and replace it with a larger one...

    Also what is the best manufacturer for the HDD to consider before buying??

    And thanks in advance..

    There is no limitation on 5920G if You want to buy 320GB or 250GB, the only think You have to know is that the HDD must be SATA. I bought Seagate Momentus 200GB 7200RPM 16MB cache and made my internal HDD external with Welland 940J case ( it's slower ). Buy Seagate Momentus 5400.4 250GB it's comparable to 7200 but it's cheaper.
