    Hi,

    I have an XPS M1530 and was looking at getting a larger HDD. I currently have a 320GB internal and 2 320GB external drives. I was wanting to replace them with one big internal disk! Western Digital have just released 750GB and 1TB drives but they are 12.5mm high as opposed to the standard 9.5mm. I suppose that this means that they won't fit in my M1530 :( Is this true?

    Cheers
    Simon

    they won't fit

    on another note, 500GB 7200rpm could be found around $80 if you wait for a deal(there was a deal on dell yesterday for $77, $90 right now, OEM drive, no warranty though)
