Hi, Thanks for all the inputs. Just one more thing. Will a standard 2.5 inch drive which I can get for $75 at newegg.com like the one listed below Samsung 30GB 5400RPM Notebook Hard Drive, Model MP0302H, OEM Drive Only - Specifications - Capacity: 30GB Average Seek Time: 12 ms Buffer: 8MB Rotational Speed: 5,400 RPM Interface: ATA-6 Features: Fluid Dynamic Bearing Motor Technology Packaging: OEM Drive Only Model#: MP0302H Item#: N82E16822152504 work fine with dell laptop (4100)? I was just wondering if there is anything special with hard drives in laptop or in general laptop use the same type of hard drives like the one listed above. Mine is a 4100, which I guess was bought about 3 years or so ago.
