    Go with the Segate IMO, not Fujitsu.

    Once again: you can ask for whatever brand, but you will get the one that they'll random pick.

    Im thinking that maybe I should get a refund. I could get for the same price than my m1210 a Vaio sz or an asus w3j.

    Im not sure its worth it to stay with Dell. :mad:
