I was wondering if there is a way to find out if my old laptop can use this.
Its a hp dv8000 about 7 years old, don't want to get rid of it cost me £1100 back then and now its worth about £50. I don't mind spending a bit more on it and using it as a home computer.
Also are there limits on the harddrive such as you can only use upto 500gb and 5400 rpm. I think the laptop has 2 harddrives so im thinking of putting in large storage hardrive in aswell.

Yes it will work. Don't know the exact SATA specs of this model but guessing SATA 1 and if so you would not get the full speed from the drive.

Seems like your harddrive is IDE interface, so can not use a SSD (mostly and cheapest these days are all SATA .)
Found a specs manual here,
http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00554540.pdf
Still not sure so if you could take your harddrive off and see if they are SATA. easy to tell like the photo below
Also for your information my wife has a Thinkpad T43, I just bought a ultrabay SATA harddrive bay like this( to replace the optical drive as a second hard drive) cost me 9 quids delivered.
your version is probably this one. a little bit expensive.

Also even you can use the replacement HDD bay you can not use the full speed due to motherboard interface bottleneck.
Someone has tested even you use this bay on thinkpad T43, you can get a 80m/s read speed and don't know the write speed.
But still far more better than a 20mb/s IDE old drive.

We can support you all the information but you are the one who spend the real money. Make sure which one you need before you click the purchase button.
As said before it's cheaper off EBuyer (and they will sell the bracket for another £3), still a good price though for a decent spec drive.

XP isn't really designed for SSDs which means (as far as I'm aware, at least) it lacks TRIM commands etc to be able to keep the SSD running at optimal performance. As such, you're likely to suffer performance degradation over time.

thanks mate, I think i'll just upgrade to a normal hard drive. I think it already has a SATA revision 1.0 hard drive. Can i go up to SATA revision 2.0 or SATA revision 3.0? In terms of rpm what is the highest i can go upto and largest sizein terms of gb?
