    Hi.

    I've got a new SONY A240P: Great machine but only has a 60G hard drive. Is it possible to upgrade the HD to bogger, faster on this model? Any suggestions as to where to find info?

    Much Thanx.

    If you want a faster big drive, you are stuck with a 5400RPM drive. Hitachi is the only one who makes 7200RPM drives and 60GB is the biggest although you could get an external usb case for your old drive and use it for storage. Pricegrabber and ebay are good places to look for hard drives. Sometimes ebay kills on the shipping. Make sure you buy from a reputable seller.
