T21 Hard drive support?

What's the largest size hard drive T21's support? Can I put a 60GB HDD in there? Thx for help.

My guess is the BIOS will handle up to a 137G HDD, larger if you partition it first. Desktop PCs of the T21 era have that limitation. Since there were no laptop HDDs with that kind of capacity it's hard to say.

I have family members running four T21s with 7K60s in them.

All run great.
