Where to find 1.8" laptop drives?

[dmoney1980]

My uncle has an IBM ultraportable notebook that he uses for work. His HDD has about 100GB on it, and it's about 95% full. He uses it for work and he loves the damn thing. I've look on newegg, micro center, along with a few other places and only found a 120gb sammy.

Any suggestions?

What about this one? (It seems to be the only one they have.)

depends on the interface, LIF, ZIF and uSata. very much not cheap for new. cheap used. LIF/ZIF are the expensive ones.

that might be the one! It is a SATA interface. these damn things are expensive, might as well look at an SSD!

"might as well look at an SSD!

You cracked the code!

A cheap fix could be a pocket-size USB external. Move all the bulky data files from the 1.8 to it and keep on keeping on.
