    Alright so the weakest link in my system is my hd (by a lot). I dont have the fund for a ssd (would be nice) but would like to upgrade to 7200rpm. Any recommendations? Anyone know of any good deals. Not too worried about size as I store my media (movies etc) on an external anyways. def 250+ though

    Does Anyone know if the new WD 1 TB (12.7mm) hard drive fits into the xps 1645 internal slot or thats only for the caddy. I have to ask this as i have bought an upgrade for my previous laptop hdd it barely fits.


    Thanks.
