| 546031 | 2007-05-01 10:59:00 | I have 2 year old Acer Extensa 2302LC with a 40gb Hard drive the C: drive is full could someone advise is it worth getting a bigger hdd or reformat my existing one. I need advice which hdd to upgrade to? | micky (7329) | ||
| 546032 | 2007-05-01 11:03:00 | I would get a bigger one as it won't take you long to fill it back up again. At least a 80GB 120 + would be better. Seagate is a pretty reputable brand. |

| 546033 | 2007-05-01 11:03:00 | Depends if u want to install a lot of programs on a hard drive. Obviously you do. Since this one is full. And it depends on how much u want to spend to get another / bigger hard drive. They range from 10-20GB to over 400-500 GB. |

| 546034 | 2007-05-01 11:23:00 | Yes I wouldn't mind getting a bigger hdd what model number should I be looking for, tried looking at the Acer site no information there! | micky (7329) | ||
| 546035 | 2007-05-01 11:25:00 | Speedy...Just out of curiosity. Would a 300GB HD draw more power to run than an 80GB HD. As an example? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||

Doesnt really matter what model. Any sized hdd would work. And if the motherboard/system supports SATA, you could get one of these instead. You dont have to get an Acer hard drive (I don't think they make hdd's anyway). This (www.edencomputers.co.nz) Is just an example. |
