    I've got a VGN-SZ120P and once Vista comes out, I'm thinking about putting in a new hard drive (120GB or better) to install Vista on and keeping the old one around with XP still on it. What would be a good drive to put in it? Can it use any of the 2.5" drives that you see on sale? Will this model support the upcoming hybrid drives that can be used with Vista's ReadyDrive technology?

    If it's ATA-6 (Ultra-ATA 100) - check it with everest.It supports up to 145PBs
    Note : 99.99% chance that every IDE drive you reach can be put inside it.
