Please log in for more thread options Virtually any drive made will work, as long as it's not physically too
thick. I'm pretty sure that the 8200 will take a drive of 12.5mm
thickness (a standard size) or less, which I believe encompasses all
drives made today. If there is a capacity limitation at all, it's quite
large, at least 30 gigabytes. These drives are very, very standard.
Except for thickness and gigabyte capacity, almost all drives will work
in almost all computers, and even in those two regards, very few laptops
won't take a 12.5mm drive (there used to be 18mm drives, but they died
out a long time ago), and very few laptops that can take an 8 gigabyte
drive cannot take a 30 gigabyte drive.
