M9700 Hdd

Hi all

Does anyone know what is max size of hdd for that laptop? Will 320GB 7200rpm work?

 

hi there,

On the memory front, the m9700 is outfitted with 2GB dual-channel DDR-400. Configurations start at 512MB and max out at 2GB.

Our m9700 came with 200GB of hard drive space in the form of 100GB x 2 Serial ATA 1.5GB/s 7,200 RPM w/ NCQ & 8MB Cache in RAID-0. Hard drive performance seemed to be average, and despite having two drives, they were inaudible. Alienware has a number of different hard drive configurations possible for every type of user.

or users that want a single hard drive (no RAID), Alienware offers:

* 4200 RPM - 200GB SATA
* 5400 RPM - Up to 250GB SATA with NCQ
* 7200 RPM - Up to 200GB SATA with NCQ

For someone who wants maximum capacity, there are dual hard drives in RAID 0:

* 4200 RPM - 400GB SATA (2 X 200GB)
* 5400 RPM - Up to 500GB (2 x 250GB)
* 7200 RPM - Up to 400GB (2 X 200GB)

In case you skimmed that last batch of bullets quickly, that�s a maximum of 500GB in the Aurora m9700. Holy $#@%!

For users who want data backup features and a more warm and cuddly feeling that their data isn�t going anywhere, Alienware offers dual hard drives in RAID-1 as well:

* 4200 RPM - 200GB SATA (2 X 200GB)
* 5400 RPM - Up to 250GB (2 x 250GB)
* 7200 RPM - Up to 200GB (2 X 200GB)

The m9700 is equipped with an HD Audio processor which provides pretty good sound for a laptop. There are two speakers mounted on the front of the laptop base, and a subwoofer mounted in the bottom.

 

Well i found that but this is what alienware was offering while buying laptop. Maybe someone upgrade it to 320GB or 500GB?

 

Lol Magic what the hell did you just post heh.

You can go with (2) 500GB 5400RPM drives for 1TB of storage. You can go with a 320GB 7200RPM too.

 

Thanks for answer
