    Hi folks!

    Have an emachine laptop with a sick hard drive. The computer came with a 120GB drive and I was wondering if anyone knows how big I can go on this computer?

    It's a relatively new machine so the capacity of the HDD shouldn't be an issue. Just don't overdo it- some of the biggest drivers (1 TB and possibly some older 640GB ones) are higher than 9.5mm that is a standard for 2.5" notebook drivers.
