    Hi there.
    I know this is possibly a long shot, but...
    I'm looking for a spare hard drive for a Dell Inspiron 2200 Laptop computer. The one I am currently using right now is good, but it is only 30 gigs, and I would like to find one that is a little bit larger. If anyone here has one and is willing to work out a deal and trade for it, let me know so I don't have to pay $46.99 on Ebay for one, especially when that is a little more than I could stand to lose lol.

    Thanks!

    Good point. Thing is I'm wanting to have better memory and this hard drive right here is reliable, just not for downloading games and such without losing more space than I can afford on it. See this hard drive is only 30 gig as I explained in my first post. And I checked on Newegg just now and I didn't see anything I'm looking for.

    What about an external hard drive?

    Hmm I might settle with one of those. But I'm mostly looking for one of the internal ones. This one is going to more than likely be sold or scrapped one I get a new one, considering its age and all.

    I'd agree with this in your case since it seems you want some space for downloads, et cetera. Check out deal sites like slickdeals or fatwallet for hard drive deals. (Though Newegg typically does have great prices on drives.)

    BUMP
    Still looking for a hard drive. If anyone here has one cheap and is willing to work out and negotiate a trade, that would be awesome, since I've been checking sites and most hard drives are outrageously expensive. I've even checked at Best Buy for one.
