    I've had my XPS 17 for about 6 months now. It has an i840QM, Nvidia GT 445M, 6Gb of memory, and one 640Gb hard drive. I would like to put in a second hard drive but I have no idea which one to get. Am I limited to 640Gb? If I can go bigger, can I increase the size of the primary hard drive too? I did a search but it didn't appear to work. Or, can you set up the hard drives to RAID 1? It would be nice to have one backing up the other.

    Thanks!
