Latitude E6430 HDD

Hi!

Maybe it is stupid question but is there a limit in HDD capacity?

My intention is to buy TOSHIBA L200 2TB 5400RPM SATA II drive but I don't know is it supported or not? :)

 

With the best!

Mark

    Not stupid at all. You can install a 2 TB HDD in the system but for the biggest improvement in performance why not go the SSD route. Much faster than an HDD. The following video should help.

    Thanks for the quick answer. Yes, I want to put two drives into this laptop - one is SSD (with the OS) and the other is HDD (to the DVD drive slot). Why? Because I need space. I have also external drive but I want to keep two copies from all the pics and vids just in case. There are priceless memories and I just don't want to loose them. :)

    Exactly what I have done. I actually have pictures and documents on 3 drives. 1 Internal, 2 external for the same reason. If it is important to you then you cannot have too many backup copies.
