Does that include I8500's ? I.E...can I drop in one of those 80Gb Toshiba's in place of the 40Gb Hitachi I have now ?

Yes, to that as well.

On the same topic, will the 60GB IBM/Hitachi Travelstar 7K60 (7200rpm, 8MB cache) work in my Dell Inspiron XPS? Originally got it with the 100GB drive but am somewhat dissapointed with it's performance and I can get one of these for a real deal.
