    Dear Members,

    I Currently own a ACER Travelmate 8000-LMI notebook.

    It comes with the following Hard-Drive:

    Toshiba MK8025GAS (IDE 100 Type)

    I want to upgrade it to a maximum capacity hard-drive, preferably Seagate or WD brand.

    But I am confused to find a suitable match and would be very grateful if any one could suggest me one!!!!

    Can I buy the following as a replacement, or are this the correct ones for my type:

    1)Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB U100 8MB:

    2)Western Digital Scorpio 120GB U100 5400RPM 8MB
    http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=44L3&CategorySelectedId=11154&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11154,47250000,364190000,50473

    I would be grateful if I could get some help :) and tips :) on this matter.

    Best regards,
    Jake
