Hello all,

Was wondering if anyone could tell me whats the biggest hardrive I can put in an old dell optiplex 260? has a 40gb in it, but my 11 year old uses it for city of heros, and wow, and apparently wow has come out with a patch, and now he cant play, so i went out and bought a 500 gb hardrive for it, but was wondering before I started fooling around with it to much if it would work or not?

Would appreciate any info you could give!

Thanks,

Ironbeard

When I was in school all we had for the most part was dell optiplex 240's and 260's. As long as the drive you bought is IDE it should work with no problem. A SATA drive will not.
