    Hi!

    I have an Acer Extensa 4420 which comes with a 160 GB Hitachi HDD, but I want to replace it with a larger HDD because 160 GB isn't enough for me.

    I was looking for a harddisk with a capacity of at least 250 GB.

    Some of the requirements:

    - Stays cool at all time
    - Low power consumption
    - Average speed ~50 MB/s
    - SATA-II

    Could someone recommend me a good HDD? I currently have a WD 320 GB in another notebook, but it tends to get very hot (avg. 46 degrees C).
