    Has anyone tried this harddrive in their M6xx? I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive and want to make sure there are no issues. The price seems pretty good, no?

    I have one installed in my 6811 (works great)and one I use to ghost to. I install one in a 5310 and it worked, but the hard drive light dimly stayed on.

    I'd look at this:

    You can put your old hard drive in an external USB case if you need the extra storage. They run about $15 on the internet. Good Luck.

    The 7200rpm would be nice, but a bigger priority at the moment is hard drive space. Any idea when 80GB 7200rpm drives will be widely available/affordable?
