    Hi,
    I want to Upgrade my Gateway MT6821. Its Specifications are:

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor T5200
    Intel® 945GM chipset
    15.4-inch WXGA
    4GB DDR2 667 MHZ RAM
    160 GB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive
    DVD±RW (8X Dual Layer)

    I bought this in 2007. Whats the HDD limit for this Laptop?
    Can I put 500 Gb HD?

    Hello Clairvoye,

    Yes, you can put 500GB drive in MT 6000 series notebook. I had the WD 5000 BEVT disk in my MT6705. Right now, I use the stock 120GB one again.

    Hope it helps. Cheers...
