New Hard Drive

faigs · 2007-02-17 21:25:21

Hi, where could I buy a new 2.5" hard drive for my laptop, around 100GB, for the best value? Would Seagate be the best make to go for? My Fujitsu one in my Dell laptop gave up and I lost everything so I need a new one to put in myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Is it an IDE or SATA drive?

IDE

SATA

And to prevent data loss in the future probably worth investing in THIS

When you find out which interface it uses get a Hitachi Travelstar 7200RPM drive (available in both interfaces) one of the best notebook drives available & the higher speed doesn't affect power usage either compared to slower 5400RPM drives.
