    I would like to upgrade my Toshiba Satellite A135-S4677 HDD from 80GB 5400 rpm to either 320GB or 500GB 7200 rpm. Any one knows if there is any HDD with these characteristics and compatible with my Toshiba Satellite A135-S4677?
    Thanks,
    Rodrigo

    I just put a WD Scorpio Black in my M400, and I like it. The A135 should accept it without any problems.

    wd scorpio black, seagate 7300.3 and hitachi have similar 320GB 7200RPM alternatives which are quite cheap these days, and perform practically the same. So get the cheapest of these.

    There are also 500Gb, but they are 5400RPm, so a quite abit slower
