Upgrading Notebook Hard Drive, Power Considerations?
Last response: in Storage
Hey,
I'd like to upgrade my current notebook's hard drive, a really slow 4200 RPM hdd. In any case I'd like to replace it with a WD1600BEKT, a 2.5" notebook hdd with 7200 rpm specs.
But I'm worried, the notebook is pretty recent, around 2008 - but since 4200 rpm was the default hdd, can the notebook support a 7200 rpm upgrade? Would I need to worry about power requirements? Or does the fact that its a SATA drive make it universally compatible in power requirements, despite the RPM's?
