Max HDD on t4x?

#1 Post by schmaud » Tue Jun 02, 2009 4:53 pm

Hi,

My harddisk (160GB) is full, and the computer acts as traveling photo album, so I rather upgrade than use external drives...

The biggest drive I could find so far is:
WD3200BEVE (Western Digital Scorpio, 5400rpm, 8MB, 2.5", 320GB, P-ATA).

Do you know if there is anything bigger on the market? for S-Ata 500 GB seems to be easy to get, anyone seen this with PATA?

thanks in advance

You could consider an UltraBay hard drive caddy in addition to the internal drive for more storage space potential if you don't mind not having an optical drive.

With an eye on the future, it may be better to get a SATA ultrabay tray and a large capacity (500 GB) SATA HDD. This should serve your present requirement better, and when you finally step up to a new laptop, the HDD can still be useful. PATA drives and the T4X series have reached the end of the road.
