harddisks for AR51E

Hello,

Does anyone know if there are harddisk upgrades for the AR51E? I'm wanting a fast read/write speed - but suspect the write speed of the standard disk is a bit poor.

Thanks,
JT

Yo!

Just thought i'd post the results. Ordered a 7200 RPM / 8MB (80gb) cache harddisk for my Vaio. Fitted it as the primary device, alongside the original 200gb drive that was in there. Everything works perfectly and a noticable speed increase due to faster access times.

For those of you considering it for the AR51E, you'll be safe to install a second / replacement drive as long as it's a 2.5" SATA150 (ata-7) drive.
