    :) Hi All...

    I just had a new power supply installed in my desktop (Antec True Power Trio 430 Watt). I have a 140 GB HD, but the techie said he heard clicking and believes I would need a new one in 6 months to a year. Can anyone tell me how large a HD my new power supply can handle?

    Thanks so much!:D

    HDD's doesnt consumes lot of power. You can have as big as u want but make sure that operating system u've does supports that big drive as well.
