    I am looking to purchase a VGN-SR19XN but would like to upgrade the hard drive to a 320GB one. I have read that the SZ series laptop hard drives were not that easily removed and required quite a bit of dismantling of the laptop. I was wondering if this was true of the new SR series as they are a similar form factor to the SZ?

    Thanks

    The SR has a panel that you can unscrew which will give you direct access to the hard drive. The same can't be said for the SZ and Z model, which will have to be completely dismantled.
