From: Trevor on 21 Apr 2008 06:38 I want to fit a larger hard drive into my Inspiron 6400 laptop but I dont know what size (GB) I can use on this computer. I am looking at Western Digital 250 gb sata 150 drive but would like to know if this is OK before I purchase it. Trevor Smith

Just make sure it's a "notebook" hard drive (2.5") not a pc drive (3.5") and SATA not IDE. I remember sometimes when I was narrowing my picks for the next drive I almost picked the wrong one (IDE). Now going a bit beyond what you asked..... Personally I'd avoid Western Digital if possible and pay more for the Seagate. I just went thru the same as you and upgraded from a 80gig 5400 rpm drive to a 160gig Seagate 7200 rpm drive. So far no problems and it runs about 5 degrees cooler than the old one and can tolerate higher temp to like 140 F degrees max per specs. If I recall most go to about 130F. Also the warrantee on WD is like 1 or 3 years (forgot which) and the Seagate is 5 years.
From: Tom Scales on 21 Apr 2008 07:24 Should work fine (assuming the 6400 is SATA, the 6000 was not). I'm not aware of any limitations once you're using SATA > -----Original Message----- > From: Trevor [mailto:trs55(a)hotmail.com] > Posted At: Monday, April 21, 2008 5:39 AM > Posted To: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell > Conversation: Inspiron 6400 hard drive size > Subject: Inspiron 6400 hard drive size > > I want to fit a larger hard drive into my Inspiron 6400 laptop but I > dont know what size (GB) I can use on this computer.
