Hard drive upgrade

[CAG1943]

Can you put a SATA hard drive with a terrabyte or more of space in a OPtiplex GX 260?

It looks like no - the connectors appear to be IDE, not SATA. If you find an PATA/IDE HDD, it looks like you could add it to the Small Mini-Tower Computer. For other models, not so easily, maybe you could mod the case to add one.

Thanks. We need to replace the present one. Which model in the WD or Maxtor line would you suggest to get the largest amount of disk space that this system would support?

The 260s shouldn't have a problem with any of the IDE drives out there. Being that this is an older computer I wouldn't worry about huge drives, unless you really need the storage space.

This a link to newegg's IDE HDDs. It is not the only vendor, but is easily accessible on the internet.
