  • Can u give me the full name of the Western digital hard drive??

  • WD Scorpio Black WD3200BEKT - hard drive - 320 GB - SATA-300 - 5 Years Warranty.

  • if you upgrade the hard drive, does it void the manufacture warrenty?

    i heard that upgrading the memory doesn't but i am not 100% sure about the hard drive.

    does anyone know?

  • Yes it does, However I did now have any seals that were broken while changing the HDD and RAM. If I ever need to RMA the unit, I just put the old HDD and RAM back in. I put my old 80GB HDD in a USB enclosure bought from an ebay seller for around £5. I just use that as an external drive.

  • im thinking about getting one of these but is 2 gigs of memory really beneficial if u just want to use it for surfing the web, microsoft office, and listening to music?

  • Well 1Gb should be fine, however, because currently RAM is at Rock Bottom prices, its a good upgrade to get.

see all

  • Really helpfull detailed instructions. Thank you very much for posting!

  • Is it possible to upgrade with a Solid State Hard drive? And will it do any different?

  • I installed a Western Digital Scorpio Black 750GB 7200RPM laptop drive into my 1005ha netbook and the speed increase is drastic. I can safely say that the i/o bottleneck is removed from the computer in day to day tasks.

    I used hddscan to query the hard drive temperature and it only runs a few degrees warmer than the 160GB 5400RPM 1-platter drive that came with the computer. Go with 7200RPM drives or hybrid drive with onboard NAND flash, they don't use much more energy at all.

  • thanks mate - very helpful

  • @uktech It's a 2.5inch drive yeah? thanks you.

  • is this hard drive compatible with asus eee pc 701?

  • The 1000 HAB does not have an access panel for the harddrive, though it has one for the SODIMM. It looks like you have to take off the entire back plate to get to the harddrive (stupid). Laptop HD upgrades for me are not a problem, I can do them in my sleep, but what a PITA, considering other models in the same 1000 series apparently have a panel to access the internal HD.

  • hey nice vid man very helpfull...just one question though? how did you re install windows???? did it come with a os disk?

  • I upgraded the HD just now using your video.

    Thank you very much for posting! Really helpfull.

  • Excellent work. Thank you
