Max HDD for ATG D620

500G will work just fine as long as the drive is 2.5" and 9.5 mm - there ARE some drives in 500G format that are 12.7 mm high (Toshiba, Hitachi) - these will NOT fit.

Should I be looking to buy a Western Digital, Samsung or Scorpio right?

Perhaps one of you have the answer to my post "Latitude D620 install 500GB HD ?" in the "Disk Drives..." forum? (http://en.community.dell.com/forums/t/19271889.aspx)

ajweb76: Did you buy a 500GB HD, and did it work?

ejn63: I called Dell Support and asked (500GB SATA-300 into my D620), and the guy said that SATA-300 instead of SATA-150 should not be a problem, but some disk controllers will only manage disks so-and-so large. He could not find the max. disk size for the D620. He saw that Dell offers configurations with 320GB but none with larger HDs, and (only on this basis, I think) concluded that 320GB would work, but 500GB would not work.

(ejn63:Do you know for a fact that 500GB will work, then?)

Thank you for your time!

I bought a 500GB SATA-300 HD and it works well in my D620.
