Product: HP Pavilion p7-1010t CTO Desktop PC
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

Hi folks, old rocks here. I am trying to find out how large an external hard or solid state drive will my desktop system be able to recognize and utilize the extra memory  within it.  About 1 or 2 Tbytes i'm thinking. The machine has 1.0 or 1.1 usb ports in it. The drive will be powered by 1 of those.

@oldrocks22-30,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Your HP PAVILION P7-1010T CTO DESKTOP PC (LP008AV), according to: https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=LP008AV, will have no problem supporting a 2TB HDD:

But wait, it gets better!

 

According to: HP - Compaq | Memory RAM & SSD Upgrades | Crucial.com, if you so choose, your desktop can even handle a 2.5inch 4TB SATA SSD (with 9.5mm adapter).

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
