    If I buy a base model W3J and upgrade the harddrive myself. What kind of harddrive do I need? I am looking for 100GB 7200rpm. I did not see one on newegg???

    Hitachi and Seagate have their model to support 100GB 7200rpm, you can make a choice. The both are very good, but Seagate is a little bit expensive than Hitachi. W3J can recognize the both of them.

    Two of those are ATA-6 and one is ATA 150. Doesn't that mean different connectors?
