I have the laptop in my sig, a Dell Inspiron 6000. I currently have two hdds for it. One is a 60gig, and the other is 60 or 80gig, I cant remember. I would like to get a bigger hard drive.

Do they make 2.5 IDE hard drives bigger than 60/80 gigs? If so, can someone point me to one? I can't seem to find any.

And, where can I get a duplicate of the tray and pin connector of my hard drive, so when I swap them out, I don't have to undo all the screws and sway trays and the connector?
 
Almost positive newegg has them, have you looked there? Can't post links as I'm on my phone.

I had searched, but most have done something wrong, as I couldn't find any. Thanks though. And linkin, I like your new avatar btw.

EDIT- Anyone have a problem with this? Some reviewers claimed to have had problems. How hard is it to return it if it doesn't work?

And would this work with MAC OSX? Or do I need something special for that?

Also- what is a good cloning tool I can use so that I don't have to reinstall the Mac OSX on this hdd? Norton Ghost cost money, but is there a free alternative? Nevermind- Carbon Copy Cloner.

Hey guys, help! I have found it on newegg.com for 90+shipping, or on compuplus.com for 75+shipping. Can someone verify whether or not compuplus is good or not?

Never deal with them,
Call them to find out if it is a new drive. they say closed out sale, is the store close out or the drive discontinued? if it is a new drive it will cover by the manufacture, anything goes wrong with the hard drive, the manufacture will deal with it. just pay by credit card in case if there is a problem with the shipment.
Best regards.
