Dell E1405 - Hard-drive upgrade (Max Size) ?

Hey Everyone,

I am thinking of upgrading the hard drive on my Dell E1405. I was just curious if there is some kind of limit as to how big a drive I can get or is just whatever my wallet will tolerate.

In addition, can anyone point me to the "correct" hard-drive that my laptop supports? (I'm assuming it's a SATA drive.)
I wasn't sure what type (if there is one) that I need to buy for my laptop. Just anything on amazon or fry.com, or something along those lines.

Thanks in advance!

200GB 2.5" 7200rpm SATA drive would do your notebook good. Look around for some deals since it can go anywhere from $50 to $90.

cheers ...

2 TB is the limit, so anything under that would be fine. Considering they don't even make 2TB mobile hard drives, you're fine with any SATA drive.

I would not get the one you linked. I do not like that the brand is not listed. At NewEgg you can get a 320GB 5400 from WD/hitachi or Segate for less. You can even get this WD 320 7200 for less than yours, here is the link. Here is a link to all NewEggs 320GB.

Thanks PowerPack! And both of those will work in my Dell E1405 with no issues?

Also, just as a side-question, once I swap the new hard-drive into my laptop, will I have to do any extra "special" configurations in the BIOS or anything?

Thanks again guys!

Yes but I did not check all for SATA or IDE but yes just confirm I did not sneak a PATA/IDE in the big list.

On BIOS I do not know. I do not think so but do not know that model.
