    Just wondering if this HD will be compatible with my Sager NP-5760 :)

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145180

    It looks like Sager uses Toshiba HD's in the 5760 notebooks (from looking at the pics on Sager's site), so I just wanted to confirm with you guys before I purchased it.

    Thanks

    Brian

    The Sager 5760 (Clevo M570U) should easily work with any 2.5" SATA HDD.

    So that Hitachi will work fine.

    I had another question: Is there a max disk space limit for the 5760 (I only ask since I've only seen a max of 160GB in other members' 5760 setups)? Or could I get the 200GB Hitachi? :D

    You can use even the new 250gb or 320gb HDDs 2.5" SATA if you want.

    Cool! Then you should check this out!

    Apparently, even though the product specs says it's a 5400rpm drive, it's really a 7200rpm drive (after being corrected by someone in the thread). I would have never have even guessed that... NBR ftw!

    I know about those external drives for a few months now.... it is difficult to find the 7200rpm drives in the enclosure anymore.

    I bought mine off an ebay seller as well for $159.95 + $14.99 shipping, but he sold his remaining 3 already....

    Also just picked up Zalman's new NC2000 Laptop Cooler :) Maybe I can be the first to write a review for it!
