I see on the slickdeals forum there is two different threads about the Seagate Momentus 200 GB 7200 RPM hard drive for a good price. Will a D630 support that large(bios, security, etc)? I currently have the dell installed 120 GB 7200 RPM and would really like to upgrade. I removed Vista business and put XP Pro on if that matters.

Here is the link, and don't all you guys go buying them up on me is they do work

200gb is no problem whatsoever.

That drive is perfectly compatible and would work just fine in your laptop.

thanks. I actualy just went ahead and ordered it after I made the post. A google search found some guy saying that he thought there was a bios update or issue to deal with, but that was the only thing that I could find, besides dell not listing it compatible with this exact model. I currently have A07 bios installed.
