Yes, and it is very easy too. It's just a standard laptop drive. Pull off the rubber around the edges (it's glued on). Unscrew 2 or three screws. Pull out the old, slide in the new. Putting the rubber thing back on is a bit hard at first (sounds dirty ). I have done this a bunch of times on mine going from 5 to 10 to 20. Of course this voids your warranty.

Thanks for the response. What mfr did you use for the 20G? I would prefer a 5400RPM, but it looks more like a 30G 4200RPM Toshiba. TIA...vDog
