    Are you sure it is an internal drive?

    yeah apparenly they exsist http://arstechnica.com/journals/har...rn-digital-joins-the-320gb-mobile-drive-party
    " Launching the Scorpio puts Western Digital in a three-way tie with Toshiba and Samsung, both of which also offer 320GB laptop hard drives with similar characteristics. "

    Ill get it in a few days and I also told them not to add the software for Media Direct, maybe thats why she said I it'll be here in a couple days. I said I wanted an untouched HD just like if I bought it from a store.

    How did you get dell to send you one of those drives? Only a few places have sold them but sold out near instantly. I really want one...

    yup.... but its dell and i haven't received my HD yet, 1st i was to get a 250GB replacement, then I asked for the 160GB 7200rpm Momentus because they had ordered me a 250GB Baracuda desktop HD but the 160GB arrived today but it was the 160GB 5400 RPM HD(wrong again) and now It's going to be the Samsung 320Gb that I think has a 16MB buffer, I may be wrong though. I talked to a nice supervisor and it seemed she fixed the problem right away(I think).

    We'll know in a few days. I can't believe no one has a 320GB HD here yet.

    BTW did I mention it was free?
