Western Digital Scorpio Blue 250GB on clearance at B&M Staples for $55.50, at least in Denver. This is the 2nd biggest HDD you can get for a PATA laptop. There is a 320GB version of this drive, but I didn’t see it there. Sales rep said this is online as well, but I haven’t seen it at this price. Cheapest I found this drive for elsewhere was ~$79-86 shipped at Newegg (320GB there for ~$96-107 shipped). Throw your favorite coupon or rewards at this drive to make it cheaper. Good reviews once you sort through the people putting it into a laptop that has a hard time supporting drives over 120GB.
