I need to get a new hd for my Dell Inspeion 7000
running 2 os.'s off of 4 gig's is a pain in the . . .
so i'd like to get one around the 20 to 30 gb size.
the cheepest ones i'le found were around $100US. that's more than i;d really like to pay for one.
Where on the net can i get a good deal on one of those 2.5 in drives?

Newegg.com has them in the $75 price range. You might also keep an eye on bensbargains.net every day for a few weeks. That site catches some pretty crazy "one day only" type of deals.

I've been shopping for a new HD for my own laptop -- getting read errors when I run smartctl --test=long /dev/hdx
2.5" Toshiba 40GB 4026GAX 5400RPM 2.5" ATA Hard Drive, 16MB cache
from the research I've done, this looks like a very promising make and model -- low noise/low heat, good G tolerance, lots of cache (the slowest RAM is still orders of magnitude faster than the faster hard drive), good MTBF
Price (Canadian dollars mind you $89.95):

I often go to the dealunion.com (http://www.dealunion.com), maybe it can lead you to what you want.

Well, considering I posted that 2 years ago, i has since given up on carting that dinosaur (in ever sence of the term) of a laptop around, and use the 30 Gb Hitachi I got 2 years ago in an external harddrive enclosure...
It makes for a good 30 Gb jump drive. it's still small compaired to my 0.64 Tb raid on my desktop.
