Hi,
this is not an overclocking question, but i hope someone can give some advice.
my old laptop, which i use for work when i am travelling, is giving up the ghost. i will never buy a hp laptop again (i wish you could build your own laptop same as you can do with a desktop - i will never ever ever buy a brand name desktop!!!!!!!!!! self build is the business).
anyway, i am looking at buying a dell laptop to replace it. i have about 100 gig of data on my desktop at the moment and i'd like to put it all onto the laptop (at the moment my laptop has an 80 gig hdd so i have to leave lots of stuff at home). dells biggest hard drive is 120 gig and it spins at 5400. i'd like something bigger and i want 7200 rpm so i can import and edit video on the laptop.
i see seagate have the momentus 2.5 inch out now, but they don't do the 160 gig version in 7200 rpm. i could get a 100 gig momentus, but i'm still going to be hard pushed for space.
anybody got any suggestions?? maybe a massive hard drive for laptops that i don't know about?
by the way i do have a 200 gig external hard drive but i don't want to have to carry it and connect it every time i need to access data. just thought i'd better mention that external hard drives are not useful for me in this situation.
thanks for reading. i hope someone knows a good way to fix this problem.
