Inspiron 1720--500GB hard drives?

Has anyone tried a 500 Gb hard drive in the 1720?  If so, details?

 

Thanks

The max that you can upgrade is 320GB hard drive. The system has never been tested with 500GB HDD.

If it'll work with a 320, it'll work with a 500 - there's no barrier in between.

Some of the 500Gb drives are different sizes that won't fit into all laptops. Anyone have more details? Brands? Models?

The problem is usually with the height of the drive - you need a 2.5" 9.5 mm drive.

 

The Hitachi 500s are 12.5 mm drives and won't fit.  I don't know who else has released these but check the physical drive specs.

Try the Samsung Spinpoint M6 500GB. They are 9.5mm drives.
