    Hello, I was thinking about upgrading to Dual Hard Drives once I got my machine. I have the 120gb 5400rpm comming in it right now, but I was wondering if it also came with a mounting bracket to put the 2nd one in?

    Also any recomendations to which Brand/Speed/Size I should go for? Im open to anything $250 and less.

    Thanks!

    Hitachi 7k200 is the fastest 2.5" drive money can buy. Plus it's big, 200 GB. I have two of them and love it.

    I am also looking to upgrade my Vostro 1700. If anyone knows where you can find a caddy for the second hard drive, that information would be greatly appreciated.
