Quick question, I have a Fujitsu N6410 Lifebook with a tiny hard drive, 80 GB. Is there a way to upgrade or swap it out for a bigger internal drive like the 300 GB mentioned in this article? I hate to have to carry around an external drive, any other solution/suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I already have a 250gb laptop hard drive. 5,400 rpm is fine. Remember faster the rpm and larger the hard drive the more battery power it will use.

Well, since this uses 3 platters and the bits are perpendicular, the data should go about the same as 6.3k rpm drive at the same data density (like the 200gb 2 platter toshiba). But considering how much data is passed in a spin, then it’s gotta be significantly faster than the last generation of non-perpendicular drives. I would really like to see someone take these suckers out for a benchmark. It seems great, slower spin, less energy consumption, but more data/sec and capacity. Best of both worlds.

Larger the drive the better. I shoot alot of pictures and with the newer 10 mega pixel cameras, shooting RAW at full resolution means that only 350 photos will take up about 6 gigabytes. I’m not so lucky or rich to have a medium format camera, but those files are hitting up to 100 megabytes per image! I have three years of photos on iphoto and Lightroom and that’s 14000 images most of which are 3-6 mega pixels. That already takes 50 gigabytes. I don’t even keep any video files on my laptop any more. I will upgrade to a 300 gigabyte drive whenever I get a new laptop next year and I suspect I will fill it in a couple of years.

I’d be happy with a 5400 200 gig hard drive. But if I had to choose size over speed, I’d have to with size. What’s more important when you’re on the road, having all the data you need or having a snappier hard drive? The only complain I have with my 100gig 4200hd is it’s full. The speed isn’t an issue.

I agree with you on the speed, but not the size. currently I have 100GB HD in my laptop and it’s not big enough to hold all the work I do. :(

I think their should be more focus on speed, rather than size. I’m waiting for a 10,000rpm Laptop drive, and the reality is 100GB is plenty…

The problem of course is battery and heat at that speed.
