Specification of HDD for Dell Inspiron 8200?

satanicslave · 06-17-2008, 06:39 AM

Dear everybody,

My HDD in Dell Inspriron 8200 is broken. I accessed Dell Support but the only answer is "please renew your warranty (and pay for it of course)". Anybody knows specification of HDD for this model?

- Maximum possible HDD capacity
- Maximum power consumption
- Memory cache
- Anything else necessary to buy new one?

My Service Tag is 432WR11

Actually HDD capacity of this model is 40GB. However, it is difficult to find such the same HDD model here. If possible, I want to installed HDD with higher capacity than original :)

Thank you.

probably 8mb or 16mb cache, basic ide hdd with 4-pin molex power. It is hard to find a 40gb hdd now. Anything is going to be 120gb or higher

For your laptop model go to this link. I gives original specs and the drives they offer for it.....up to 250 gig for 114.00 if you reuse your cage that holds the drive. Hope it helps.
