Hi guys,
I would appreciate you assistance again please :redface:

Will this hd... http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/500Gb+Hitachi+Deskstar+P7K500+Hard+Drive-+16MB+?productId=31456 ...be o.k. as a second drive in my Dell 5100?

(Currently have a Maxtor 160Gb SATA150, NCQ, 8Mb cache as C: drive)

Excuse my ignorance, but what other cables, etc. will I need and would it be a 'plug-n-play' fitting or do I have to set-up the hd once installed?

Any links to external help sites, if necessary, would also be appreciated.

Very many thanks,
Steve

(P.S. FWIW, now running 2 x 1Gb 5300 RAM not the standard 2 x 512Mb)
