Sid,

What you probably want is an ide 3.5 or 2.5" notebook hdd with casing for a
USB 2.0/1.0 output jack.

The casing is sold separately and they're pretty sleek. All you do is plug
in the usb to the usb on the vaio. Accessing via usb is kinda slower than
ide but would be find if the apps are hdd intensive.

Or try one of these prefabbed:

hi

my girlfriend "inherited" a sony vaio pcg-808 notebook which runs still
great and serves her well for her purposes. the only problem by now is the
pretty dinky hard drive. so we would like to upgrade it to a 20 gig hd and
shop for that online. i am pretty savvy concerning anything about desktop
hardware, but am pretty new to all the laptop stuff:

so what i wanted to ask: what kind of specs does a HD need to work with a
Sony Vaio PCG-808? what do i need to pay attention to, so it will fit and
communicate with the rest of the system later on?

thanks a lot!
