    I just purchased a spec'ed out E4300 (Intel Core 2 2.53ghz, 8 gb ram). The only thing that sucks is the hard drive. Its only a 250gb. I am upgrading from a XPS M1210 and it has a 320 hdd. I carry movies and music on the drive and really wanted a bigger drive. What would be my best option for a HDD?? I want to go 500gb or 640gb (I don't think anything bigger will fit). Any suggestions??

    The E4300 uses a standard 2.5" SATA HDD.

    If good battery run time is one of your concerns then look for an HDD with low power consumption. These benchmarks (one two) give a good indication.
