Re: Lack of HD Space On Classmate Netbook

fyi: We replaced our 16gb SSD (stock on 2009 Classmate), with a 1.8" pata LIF 120gb drive (off Ebay) which appears to have worked fine. Not sure how much speed we might have lost going from SSD (2008 speeds) to a 3600RPM HD but for a driver station, it should be easily fine. 120GB might seem like overkill but it was cheaper in our case than a 60gb after shipping and was based on modern drive technology. No 2.5" drives don't fit and don't have the LIF pata ribbon cable interface. Watch out for sata LIF drives which will not work in the Classmate. Needs to be pata ide.
