Hello everyone!
I just figured out using speccy, that my HD is SATA which is very slow. I would LOOVE to upgrade my harddrive to something faster to make my computer even better.
I am not looking for anything SUPER expensive.
However, I don't really know which harddrive I can get for my computer and have it work.
I have a Dell Windows 7 OS 64bit.
Here is my current harddrive specs:

So, if you can find something for my that is faster than SATA ( I am fine with 640GB or whatever, however I just want faster performance harddrive). then please reply and let me know what you find that I can use on my computer.
 
That big printout doesn't tell me the performance of your current drive so I will rely on you to look up the web and find out. These days 1TB+ HDD are the norm so am gonna guess your drive is a few years old so ANY new drive is gonna do better. How much better, again I will point you to the web, performance data are readily available.

If you REALLY want to leapfrog however, SSD is in vogue these days, as long as you got the dough, your storage performance will immediately "turbo" AND they run totally silent to boost.
