    Hi there :)
    Can somebody tell me which is the brand of the Hard Drive on TXN25N/B?
    And is possible to be replaced with faster hard drive because 4200 rpm is too slow?
    Thanks :)

    Sony is using the 1.8" type of HDDs on the TXs & buying one such HDD is not only expensive but the only speed available is only 4,200rpm.

    I just talked to someone from Proportable and he said he found a 5400 rpm 1.8" hard drive for his U1F. I was surprised by that as I have only seen 4200 rpm drives.

    One option is SSDs, but they are very rare and expensive currently and in small capacities as well.

    The most widely available 1.8" HDDs are made by Toshiba & even that is quite hard to find. Note that they are 4,200rpm. Even if you do find out, you'll noticed that it costs a lot more than the "standard" 2.5" notebook drives.

    IMHO, unless you need more space, I wouldn't recommend replacing the HDD drive at this point in time. I mean given the price-to-performance ratio, you're better off spending those money somewhere else or better yet, save that amount to be used in your future laptop purchase.
