Samsung and Western Digital both make a 1TB 9.5mm laptop HD. There will almost certainly be multi TB 9.5mm HDs available before the W520 reaches the end of its useful life. > and while USB 3.0 on the machine, only 2.0 on the docking station Are you certain of this? Usually docking stations have a pass-thru of the laptop's USB ports and not a separate card, ergo if the docked laptop is USB3.0 so are the ports on the docking station, and vice versa. This is an oft visited question with docking stations, especially years ago when some of them supported both USB1.1 and USB2.0 equipped machines and, as the docks were listed as USB2.0 compliant, many users of older machines were distressed to find that their USB1.1 laptops didn't miraculously become USB2.0 capable when docked.
