How to upgrade your notebook hard drive
Its best to do a little planning before you begin. I’m
going to assume you’re upgrading the current drive, not
replacing a broken one.
More about that later.
If
you’re not a computer professional, you must be comfortable
opening up your notebook to replace the old drive with your new big
fast drive.
If that scares you stop here and call a friend or your local computer
shop.
You should go
for a larger drive than the current drive,
which is probably why you’re here. I strongly suggest you
consider buying a
7200 RPM drive for your notebook – why? I just finished
upgrading my Dell
Inspiron (which was a very basic notebook). It now runs almost 2 times
faster! The
7200 RPM drives gets Windows and almost every application running
faster. It’s
a great way to get more performance for very little increase in cost. I
suggest
the Seagate Momentus 7200 RPM drives. You can buy them at some
retailers (check
before you go) or search on-line for a Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade.
