[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 1900, member: 175235"] The stock hard drive is a Maxtor 40GB and any upgrades have to be a Maxtor. The Maxtor 4K080K4 - 80Gb works, so does the 4K080H4 - 80Gb but that model doesn’t have a fluid dynamic bearing motor so will be quite a bit louder. The Maxtor 4G120J6 - 120Gb works also. Not sure if the 160GB models work or not. You don’t have to do anything to the drive (no user pre-format, boot files etc needed) just out with the old and in with the new. It could/will run hotter so a fan upgrade/more ventilation might be a good idea. Also the disk space remaining indicator will be very inaccurate when the drive is empty. [/QUOTE]
