    Specs says that hp 8510p supports "up to 200gb 7200rpm HDD". Has someone tried to put something bigger in it? 250? 320? 500?

    I have 5400rpm 160gb fujitsu right now, I wanted something bigger, but upgrade 160->200 is not worth buying.
    thanks for any help :confused:

    I also asked him about the seagate's freefall sensor.

    So can I buy seagate 7200.4 500gb? That would be great upgrade.

    I meant freefall sensor in HDD. It also parks heads when falling as the hp 3d driveguard does.
