    I am looking at some refurb M1330's on the dell outlet, and it looks like some of them have IDE hard drives. Is it possible for me to replace them with SATA drives or would I be stuck with the IDE interface?

    Thanks!

    That's a mistake on the Outlet listing.
    All the M1330's come with SATA hard drives.
