Buy an external hard drive.
They are cheap and easy to find. The laptop ones are small enough to fit into your pocket and cost less than 100k for a 100+ gigs of space.
A larger one (full size drive in a hard case with it's own power supply) would run less than 150-200k for 500 gigs (price variance on brands).
The best prices are at Yongsan but you can also get them from any E-mart, Kims Club, Lotte department store or Home Plus as well.
Plug it into your USB port and Bob's yer Uncle.
ALternatively, if you actually want to perform surgury on your laptop to upgrade the hard drive (HDD) or RAM then go to one of the places at the Son-In Plaza at Yongsan (across the railroad yard from Yongsan station - the place with the big GIGABYTE sign on it).
There are about a dozen places in there that do upgrades, repairs, trade-ins and sell new/used laptops. They all speak tech so there is usually no worry about the language barrier. |

Correct. About $118 for a 500gig external with case and powersupply (7200rpm Seagate). |
