    Looking to upgrade the 80GB drive in my 6910p. I saw on HP's site that the notebook ships with up to 160gb drives but I'm thinking it may be able to accommodate larger drives. What's the largest drive I can have in this system and what manufacturer would you recommend. If you can provide the drive model number you would recommend, I would appreciate it also. thanks

    Get the 320GB 5400 Western Digital out of Passport Mini-Drive. Greatest drive I have seen, very quite. It's not a 7200rpm. Very fast though.
