Notebook Hard Drive Upgrade

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 drive 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.
