I have a really nice laptop, and after taking a tumble, the HDD is not bad. I have ran alot of programs on it trying to save it, but had no luck. I got my information off it, but even "HDD Regenerater" could not save it so I am looking for another one, with a 200gb min, It is a Serial ATA drive, also known as SATA. if anyone knows where I can get one thats not too expensive, please let me know. I have been out of work, and now holidays are keeping me out of work. but do hope to get back to work soon. Only drives I have been able find locally run about $90.00 before taxes, and thats a lil more then I can come up with at one time. Appreciate any ideas. . . Thanks

I would go with a 7200rpm drive,  Seagate or WD.

If you want to throw in an extra $4 look at this sweet - Solid State Hybrid HDD!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148593

Designed with high-performance core components on an innovative platform, the Seagate Momentus XT solid state hybrid drive consists of a
7200-RPM hard drive with 32MB of cache, 4GB of solid state SLC NAND flash storage, and Adaptive Memory technology, delivering an 80 percent faster
performance than traditional 7200RPM hard drives.

otherwise you can get a normal 250Gb Seagate or WD HDD  for $49.99 from NewEgg

For a laptop I would highly recommend a SSD.  Sadly they are still alittle expensive but in my eyes are way worth it.  Currently Im running a Intel X25-M Mainstream 2.5' 160GB SATA II MLC Internal () SATA SSD Hard Drive, which yes is not 200gb  but the transfer rate is unbelievable.  Just my two cents.
