    I just bought a 700m this morning and I'm planning to upgrade the hard drive. Just wondering if this little guy uses the same standard 2.5" hard drive that the rest of them use.

    Thanks! [ :D]

    I am almost sure that that is what it uses. 1.8" are too slow to be used in laptops + too expensive per MB when compared to 2.5".
    TO make sure go to device maneger, find the model of your HDD and google it. At least you can know what brand Dell used before opening the case.

    What drive will you be getting rid of? Size and rpm?
