Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 580 series of Desktop which came preloaded with
- Intel® Core™ i5-750 Processor (2.66GHz, 1333MHz F 1 SB, 8MB Cache)
- 4GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM (2x2GB)
- 500GB SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit (English)
Few months back, I upgraded my computer with a 1TB harddisk in the second slot provided, now I want to upgrade it with another 3TB internal harddisk as there is a 3rd provision of the SATA on the motherboard though the provisioning is not there in the cabinet but will somehow figure a way out for that.
But my question is will this machine be able to run a 3TB harddisk as a 3rd drive or even as a 2nd drive [as I am ready to swap the already existing 1TB harddisk if the 3rd drive idea does not click].
Plan 1
Drive 1 - 500 GB [Boot Drive]
Drive 2 - 1 TB [Data Drive]
Drive 3 - 3 TB [Data Drive]
Plan 2
Drive 1 - 500 GB [Boot Drive]
Drive 2 - 3 TB [Data Drive]
I tired to call the Dell customer care, one executive says that the machine can support only upto 1 TB of harddisk [which i found it lously as my machine already is running a 1.5TB], spoke to another executive he said it will support upto 2/ 2.5 TB but not 3TB.
Can some one help me out !!!!
Regards
Sudhan
