Default Hard drive upgrade.

I seem to be on track to fill my 120GB hard drive up in the not too distant future so was thinking of changing the internal one rather than getting an external one.

The question is what do i get? I'm thinking of 250GB or 500GB but what make/model and speed should i get?

I've seen a few on here

It all depends on budget. In any instance, Seagate off a very good warranty, with almost silent operation.

You could always slice a 500gb disc into numerous partitions.
Alternatively, burn off onto DVD the file you occasionally need etc.
This will keep your discs at a manageable level.
Minimum speed should be 7200rpm, this is pretty much standard.

I prefer Samsung as they are quieter, but a lot of it is down to personal preference. Drives are not that expensive, so buy what you think you need space wise.

Depends on your budget - but I would go for 500gb. They seem to be at the right price at the moment....the jump to 750gb and the 1tb is quite large.
