    Hi,

    Im going to add additional hard drive for my 901C.

    my current one installed by the factory is:
    200GB; SATA-300; 7,200rpm; up to 3Gb/s; 16MB cache; 2.5-inch

    any recommendations?

    also, on a side note, anyone have problems with this notebook suddenly crashing when watching online streaming videos like youtube?
    I sometimes get a black screen, and a repetitive buzzing sound while watching streaming videos....I then have to restart it.

    thanks

    Depends on what you want. If you intend to setup RAID 0 or 1, then you want a similar HDD i.e. 200GB SATA-300 7200rpm. If not, any size or speed is adequate. All depends up to you. WD or Seagate make good HDDs.

    On the streaming thing - are there any relevant items logged in your event logs?
