The iHP-120 uses a single platter 1.8" Toshiba drive. I think that the
largest drive that is currently available is the MK3006GAL, which is a
30 GB drive. Toshiba is releasing (or has released) a 40GB
perpendicular drive, but they are expensive and not readily available
yet to the general public.

You can find a number of places to buy these drives online--just do a
Google search. You can also find the 20GB drive on sale from time to
time on Mistic River when people upgrade their drives or their player
fails for some reason other than the drive. You could post a "wanted to
buy" message in Mistic River's "buy/sell/trade" forum and see if
anything turns up.
