Hi Ardell Faul,

Seems you are frustrated or trying to blame everyone who is having
the internal hard drive with large size.

I did asked for the suggestion and recommendation with respect to
buying internal hard drive approbriate to my laptop.

Your reply neither help or useless with respect to my question, it
would much more appreciate and valued if you give me the suggestion
to buy right one with either low or higher size or rpm rather than
critise them without even knowing individual needs. Seems that your
lack of understanding.

hope you will get little matured and civilized in replying
appropriate to the questions or needs.

have a good day (try to cool yourself down)
