Supported Hard Drive

[Scorpio721]

Hi ALL

I have a friend who has an Fujitsu Amilo Pro v3515 Laptop that has only a 40GB HDD and needs help finding a higher capacity and speed for his laptop.

However, the manual and online guides don't give supported speeds or max capacity, the current drive is 5400rpm.

So will a 7200rpm be supported by his laptop? with a capacity of 500GB or more?

Please advise,
Thank You

Any SATA laptop hard drive will work in that machine.

If its the new drive, it won't show up until you partition and format it but the cloning software will see it.

ok. can u walk me through how to partition and format it?

You don't need to partition and format if you are cloning the original drive.
