DELL LATITUDE D630 - 1 terabyte HDD

I want to buy a DELL LATITUDE D630 because i've used it before and i like its performance. There is a store in my city selling those laptops (they imported those laptops from USA) but they sell the laptop with 1 TB HDD (RAID - hot swap) and 4GB RAM and the price is not expensive. I've just read at Dell's web site that D630 only can handle up to 160GB HDD. Do you know about any other D630 running with a HDD bigger than 160GB? Does 1TB HDD has good performance? Do you think i might have further problems about overheating?
Thanks in advance.

 

There is no such thing as a 1TB notebook hard drive on the market right now. The D630 can take two 500GB hard drives, one in the regular HDD bay, and one in the modular HDD bay. If these are setup in a RAID 0 array to form a 1TB virtual drive, I doubt that the modular drive can be hot-swapped. There definitely won't be any problems with overheating, but you will probably have to use an external optical drive if the drives are in a RAID array.

 

As far as I know, the D630 does NOT support RAID. So at best, they sell the drive with two 500GB drives that are not linked together.

That company is being fairly dishonest on that one.
