    I definitely bought an undersized HDD for my needs. I'm at 80gb, I need to upgrade to at least 120gb.

    I don't know where to look for a compatible drive, with a good value for a price.

    Search for SATA 2.5" drives.

    Any one will do.

    Look here for the specs of the NX570XL. It shows Serial ATA (sata) for your model.

    Seagate
    Western Digital
    Samsung
    Fujitsu

    I've had all of them and they all have worked fine.
