XPS M1710 Hard Drive replacement

I want to replace my current hard drive with a newer, bigger capacity one. I currently have a Fujitsu MHW2160BH ATA drive in my XPS M1710 with only 60Gb free. I telephoned Dell customer services and sales and was told:

1. Dell only carry 80Gb replacement drives ?
2. The largest capacity I can have is 250Gb ?
3. I can fit 2 hard drives in the laptop.
Can you tell me:
A. The maximum capacity of a replacement drive I can fit in my laptop ?

B. The part number of the new drive so I can order one from somewhere please.?

C. Can I fit a second hard drive inside my laptop ?


Many many Thanks

    Thanks for the quick reply and details of a new drive. I forgot to mention that I am in the UK and after checking Newegg site they only delilver in the US :-(

    I'll see if I can get the same drive in the UK.

    Can you tell me if there are any known problems swopping my drive for the new one?

    All the best

    And THANKS again.

    Regards

    Graham
