Power supply upgrade??

[bishop04]

I would like to upgrade my HDD to a 120GB 7200 rpm drive. I currently have a 300w power supply, do I need to upgrade the power supply as well?

Well, by taking into account the HD you're replacing, as well as the rest of your system specs, I can safely say, "I don't know."

No. But you may need to upgrade your bios if your machine is older and won't recognize a drive that big.
