    I bought the alienware m17x r3 with the 320 hard drive at 7200 rpm I think. Unfortunately, it is not enough space for me cuz half of it is used by default or something. I want to add another hard drive that has a high space and a good price but, I dont know what will fit in my alienware m17x r3. and by high space I mean a minimum of like 500 gb.

    would this fit for example?

    Newegg.com - Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9500420ASG 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s Internal Notebook Hard Drive with G-Force Protection -Bare Drive

    Thank you

    Everything with 9.5 is fine. I've got the WD7500XXXX with 750GB and it works like a charm.
