i was looking at a gateway p-7811fx #4 17" 2.26g 4gb gaming laptop. The only problem is that it doesnt come with a hard drive..
Can you tell me a few good hard drives to use with this computer for gaming?

It depends...

Are you gonna have ALOT of stuff on it? If so, then go for a 500GB or 1TB laptop drive such as this 1TB Western Digital laptop HDD.

Or want an SSD? Its super fast, but expensive and low capacity.
Like this 120GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD

Or.... how about both?
For $270 you can get a WD Black squared. It is a 1TB HDD and 120GB SSD in one laptop sized 2.5" form factor. It is the best of both worlds.

It's all up to you. The WD Black squared is the best because you can install OS on the SSD portion and have all your games on the super fast HDD portion.
