[QUOTE="eric, post: 706789, member: 22327"] i've done this, and installation is pretty much as easy as it seems. as for size, spin, brand. everyone is going to have a different opinion. check reviews on the drives on sites like cnet. size won't make too much of a difference on speed unless you pack a drive full of data - higher spin and larger cache will certainly boost speed a bit, at least when accessing large files. though these things may consume more power as well, so if you tend to spend a lot of time on battery, you may actually want to go with a slower spin.
