Can I basically purchase ANY internal HDD as long as it's SATA and 2.5''????

Or do I need to purchase a particular model etc etc??

I just want one that will be easy to install and run smootly without making my original dm800 too hot etc!

Any ideas on which one I should go for?
 
I am using a 4200rpm 160 gig hard drive that came in my Toshiba Laptop. Think it might be a Fujitsu model and it is sata. My thinking is the slower the rpm the less heat will be generated ? The drive works fine for both playback and recording.
 
any 2.5" SATA should work. Cant remember what I originally bought for mine but I made sure it was an energy saving one that's got some technology to also run quietly too which I am sure most manufacturers offer these days

How you finding it?
 
Thanks guys. I'll try and get me a 'low power consuming' one then me thinks.

Yes, dm800 is fine at the moment thanks lads, does everything it says on the tin!:smashin:
 
Oh and another thing, I wont have to RE-FLASH image will I once ive installed this?

By the way im currently DUAL BOOTING different images via a USB keyring... will me fitting a HDD internally affect this?
 
Do you mean your using Barry Allen?
 
How hot does the dm800 get ? looks like its a tight fit with a hdd inside,i can remember that my dm500 used to get hot ( no hardrive of course),no where near has hot as my tm9100:eek:.
