    Hi guys,

    I have an NP 8660. Is there a limit as to the size of the internal hard drive I can put in? I have a 320 GB now that it came with. Can I change it with a 1TB?

    Thanks!

    you want a 2.5" wide, 9.5mm height hard drive. for 7200rpm, you can go up to 750gb, for 5400rpm (ish), you can go to 1TB. You also can go SSD, although that is a stratospherically expensive route.

    Thanks, so the motherboard and BIOS will not have a problem with the 1 TB?

    If it fits, it will run just fine.
