    So, I want to get a larger hard drive for my M14x R2 and I'm not sure which one I should get or which one is recommended. I was thinking of getting one with around 2 TB of space. I currently have a 500 GB RAID 0. Any help or advice is appreciated!

    If you need storage space a 2TB HDD will do just fine. If you want speed you will probably want an SSD.

    I just want a 2 TB HDD, but I'm not sure what company, or what make or model or anything. There's a lot of different ones. Most of the 2 TB ones I've found were 15mm so they wouldn't fit in a laptop so I need some help finding one that's 2 TB and that fits my laptop
