Hello,
I have a Acer Aspire 9301AWSMi, with a SATA harde drive of 160, running Vista ultimate.
Lately my hard drive has been giving me lots of problem, and i want to change the hard drive.
Can you please tell me what is the biggest 2.5 SATA hard drive I can install......or is there something else, I am over looking??

Hi,
Generally Id go for a 320gb HDD, but if you want more then I wouldnt go much above 400gb.

Why not? While the density is much higher they do still work.

About the largest drives you can get in 2.5" are 1TB in size. There is no physical reason bomor could not run one of these.
