Hello Folks, I'm wondering what size SSHD drive to install into my laptop when I add more RAM, Samsung 4GB 2X2GB . I was going to put a Seagate 1TB SSHD in or a 500gb?

If a machine can accommodate a 500GB SATA HDD it will take the 1TB. However I like to get the 7200 RPM models if speed is a concern. That said, any 240GB or plus SSD really pays off in making it fly.
