Is there anything to watch out for when substituting high capacity (100+ GB) hard drives in the 722 and 744T?
Storage capacity isn’t as much of an issue as is drive current draw. For instance, 7200 rpm drives draw more current and generate more heat than 5400 and 4200 rpm mechanisms. Higher speed drives will have less runtime than lower speed drives. In general, the heat generated from the drive will be in the same range regardless of its size and capacity. We have tested drives up to 250 GB (the largest available 2.5-inch notebook drive as of March ‘07) with good success.
