    Hi!

    Sorry if it was asked before.

    My 320 gb wd black is getting too small (worked fine). With these steam sales I just have to have something bigger :) I want to ask which is the biggest hdd that my bios will handle in my hp 8510p? And am I right that only normal thickness drives will fit in, not those 12 mm ones (if I remember right)?

    If it is compatible I will buy a 500 gb 7200 or a 640gb 5400 (segate or wd).

    Thanks for helping me.

    Well, if someone would have the same question, 500 gb works fine (wd black, 7200).

    No problem :) No one knew who read it. 500 gb wd black works fine, and had a much better price then the 640 gb seagate 5400.
