    He actually answered the question, it just wasn't very wordy.
     
    He said No Problem which means the 120Gb drive will work fine as long as it is Parallel ATA (PATA, UltraATA-100 or 133, IDE, etc.) instead of Serial ATA (SATA)

    I just installed a new 120gb Seagate Momentus in my 8600. It's been running sweet. No issues to report. Good luck!

    Hi andy2434,

    same with me. Runs like charm.
    I think it produces less heat than my old Toshiba Model.
    Cheers,

    Ditto on that.  I installed it in my 600m to replace the 80GB Toshiba 4200 rpm drive, and it works great.
     
    And getting it for only $128 from Circuit City made the deal even sweeter.
