Hi guys. Just a quick question.

The 8930g has 2 Drives, one is 329GB and in mine the other is 150GB. I bought it in Japan.

What's the biggest Drive I can replace the 150GB with?

Are you sure that it's only 150gb ??

I believe you have a 500 that is partitioned.

2 Drives, 1= 320 GB (ST9020320A ATA) and the other a 150 GB(WDC WD1600BEVT - 22ZCT0 ATA).
At least that's how we get here in Japan. It's not 1 500GB drive. According to Partition Magic anyway.


So if I wanted to replace the smaller one, how big can I go? Is there a limit?

I can get a 500GB drive pretty cheaply over here.

The lost 10gb of your Western Digital 160gb drive is your PQSERVICE partition, I believe. You should be able to put another 500gb drive in your system in place of the smaller drive if you want to. The only limit to drive size should be that 500gb drives are the largest they make for laptops. If speed is a priority, I would get a 320gb 7200rpm drive for the boot drive. I think that is the largest size for that speed drive. I would use an imaging utility to clone the drive so I wouldn't lose the recovery partition while changing drives.

Thanks for the reply. The bigger drive is my primary. The smaller one is just used for media stuff. I'll replace it next month.

It's a great machine!
