What HDD should I buy to Upgrading my XMG P702

Hi,

I bought XMG P702 from MySN.co.uk a couple of months back with just 256GB SSD.

Now I want to upgrade it to add a new HDD. Can you please suggest me which one should I go for ?

I'm looking for around 1-2 TB is the price if good

thanks.

 

Personally I probably go for this one - Hitachi 1TB 2.5" SATA III Travelstar.

 

That is based on a Clevo P170EM - Great choice! Many of the experts here recommend WD scorpio line for instance : Amazon.com: Western Digital WD10JPVT Scorpio Blue 1 TB 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive: Electronics I am not sure if your machine came with a Caddy for the drive though.
This is also 5400 RPM like the excellent recommendation in the previous post

 

Yeah, 1TB 5400 RPM drives are your only options right now - unless you want to gamble with a new Toshiba Hybrid drive (also 1TB) with 8GB SSD type nand 'onboard'.

Both the Hitachi and the WD would be my 'only' choices at this time (unless Seagate has already started shipping a 1TB Hybrid drive of it's own...).


To match your usage better to the drive you'll buy, you may want to read this very recent article:

Hope this helps.

Good luck.
