        They use standard laptop size (2.5") hard disk drives. Here's some
        info on 'em:
        
        http://www.funmp3players.com/reviews/modify/
        
        I believe it can handle larger drives. There's info on the page I
        pasted about that, too, IIRC.
        
        Don't forget to format your drive as FAT32 before you install it in
        your unit.
