Suggestions: Laptop Harddrive Upgrade

Anyone know where I could find a new (6GB+) harddrive for a Gateway Solo 2500? It accepts a 2.5" / 12.7mm drive.

Hmmm. I'll be watching this as my drive is shrinking fast

compgeeks has a 30 gig 12mm one for about 139. I would have gotten it, but i think upgrading my aging laptop is going to be waste.

Yeah, I think the IBM TravelStar 20GN will work. It's $80 @ Newegg.

lol... that's the same one i'll be buying this afternoon.
The 6GB I have now has some bad sectors, and 30GB is way more than i need in a laptop.

Hope things go well in your upgrade.

EDIT: correction the 20GB is $110
You are looking at the model/type identifier for the 10GB that sells for $80.

I'm personally not doing it. A co-worker will be installing it, but he wanted me to research the parts.
