    Hi I am new to the website and have been looking around for 2 days now and I have a CF 28 that I am looking to replace the hard drive with one that is faster. I am new to working on computers and have no clue what type of hard drive I can replace it with "i.e. interface type". Any input would be helpful.

    you can replace the hdd of any brand, as long as it is ATA type or IDE for laptop. There are now 7,200 rpm , 5,400 rpm or 4,600. Its your choice, the higher the speed much better.
