    programs and such it was like hmmm, i need more space
    running out real quick like, so i posted here for help on a good bigger drive
    and thanks for all the info help i got, i place a order and tomorrow i will
    have my new drive with more space "sweet" :D

    its a whole lot of space for a notebook hard drive, but only 5400rpm, :(
    the latest maximum pc reviewed the 250g WD Scorpio and gave it a 7/10 i believe.

    yea 7200 rpm would be better
    but i needed the space and money was a issue
    7 out of 10 not to bad i guess

    the drive i have now is a 5400 rpm and its not to bad
    but the space will help out alot

    and i guess the price on the drive is not bad along with the space

    For $40 more you can get a 200GB 7200RPM Hitachi from ZZF, they also provide free shipping on it.
