    I have a HP Pavillion dv9540us which came with 2x 120Gb Fujitsu Sata drives 5400rpm

    I already replaced the second drive by one from Seagate 320Gb Sata 7200rpm

    Does anyone knows if it will work with 2x500Gb ?
    HP Service guide manual and chat support told me the max I can have is 2x 250Gb 5400rmp which I kind of not believe is necessarely true.

    Can someone help ?

    Thanks

    Yes, It will work. I have two WD 500G SATA 5400rpm drives in my dv9500t.
