Alienware M11x R3 Internal HDD upgrade question?

So I have never replaced an internal hdd before...ever. My Alienware m11x R3 has 320 GB and it is not enough for all my stuff. Is it possible to install a 1 TB or 750 GB HDD in it? If so, what are the tech specs? Where should I buy it from? Links shall be highly appreciated.

 

You can put any SATA hard drive in as long as it's a 2.5" 9.5mm drive. You should get a 7200 rpm drive over a 5400 rpm one. Newegg and Amazon are good places to shop if you are in the U.S. If you need it now you will most likely pay a premium though. There is a hard drive shortage so prices have gone up. http://forum.notebookreview.com/har...upgrades/619669-hdd-prices-skyrocketting.html

 

true if you want storage, however if you want speed, you should get an SSD. once you have experienced that, there is no going back. to bad the big SDD's still cost a lot. i use a x25 m 160Gb ssd and steam, when i play a game i install it locally and after i finish it i just dispose of the local content. in this way i have the advantage of speedy games.

I f you want storage on the other hand combined with speed you could buy a hybrid type of disk or just resort to a M17 x r1 or r2 or an M18x. with such a baby you can use an ssd for the boot and OS and another 2,5 inch disk (a big one) as second disk...
