    Would I be able to install a 160GB HDD into a Z61t?

    I'm sort of bummed that Lenovo doesn't offer any drives over 120GB. Would it be possible for me to buy a larger drive and then put it in myself?

    awesome.... I knew in some manufacturers, optical drives could cause problems, but i didn't know if there would be a problem upgrading the hard drive.

    anyone have a recommendation between a 5400rpm 160GB and a 4200rom 200GB?

    The 4200RPM drives are painfully slow.

    Are you SATA or IDE?
