    Hey guys quick question.

    I bought a 7200 rpm 2.5 laptop hard drive and was wondering if it can be installed in a n80?

    I bought my N80 at the same time but received my hard drive first, which sucks lol.

    Of course, as long as the drive is in 2.5" format and it is 9.5mm thick, there shouldn't be any problem.

    Be careful, some 2.5" drives have 3 platters in it and may have a thickness of 12.5 mm and they don't fit into most laptops' drive bays...

    Also make sure it's a SATA interface and not an IDE.
