    Hi!

    I own the notebook in the sig and it's geared with a 60GB HDD of 1.8".

    Someone has told that for 1.8" HDD drives, 60GB is the biggest storage capacity you are going to find.

    Is this true? Or there is anything bigger of these HDD's?

    Thanks.

    I think they have 80GB versions in iPods. Don't know if they are using on laptops yet.

    The max used in notebooks is 60GB at this time.

    you can always get an external hard drive if you need extra storage space.

    a 2.5" notebook drive in an enclosure is remarkably compact.
