    Hi guys

    I would like to buy an Seagate Momentus 7200 500GB 7200RPM for my HP nc6320. Currently I use the 80 GB Fujitsu, which came with the Laptop.
    Through browsing the Web and HP site I ve read that there is a limit in hard disk space.

    Does anybody know if the nc6320 can handle a 500GB 7200RPM disk.

    AHCI Mode!
    BIOS latest!

    Thansk for your answers.

    PS: I am so happy with the laptop and it keeps runing and runing.

    These limits you found might have been from an outdated spec sheet.

    It should work as long as its a SATA drive. (Check that its a SATA drive first)
