    Question Dell D630 - maximum HDD size

    To anyone out there with a D630, what's the largest HDD size you have working in your laptop?

    Reason I ask is currently i have a seagate 80GB 7200rpm drive and im looking at 200GB+ 5400rpm drives, but Dell cannot tell me if they will work or not.

    Anyone...?

    Indeed, they are all the same physical size so I don't see a reason why you couldn't even use the 500GB drive's which are being released currently

    Thanks, i've been tempted to get a Hitachi 250GB 2.5" Hard Drive SATA150 5400rpm 8MB Cache - OEM but just didnt want to waste £90 if it didnt work.
