    Has anybody upgraded to the Seagate 7200.3 7200rpm 320gb? What are your thoughts? Does it run hot? Do you think the heat will add to the GPU heat problem?How about noise? Thanks for any input you may have. I have already read most of the test results/benchmarks on the drive itself do I am looking for input from M1330 owners.

    No extra GPU heat dude....the HDD is the very most lower left of the computer...by where your left hand is when you type (or to the left of the mouse pad)


    The GPU is to the upper right of the computer (compared to the HDD)
