Hi Guys & Girls,
I'm looking to obtain a new laptop HDD since mine decided to go completely 'kahput' but seem to be somewhat confused...
As this is only used as a travel/work laptop and all major works are undertaken on my Desktop, I don't need a huge capacity drive (~320gb would be plentiful), but I would ideally like 7200rpm speed.
I daftly purchased a nice capacity/speed HD only to find my old dell lappy of ~5 years actually didn't have SATA connection but I believe IDE (Loads of pins
don't judge my lack of knowledge
)
From browsing the net I can't seem to find any 7200speed IDE drives or am I just looking in the wrong places?
I understand competitor rules on the forums but some clarification on whether or not I'm looking for something that exists would be great, along with any other tips / advice you lot are normally full of
Kind Regards,
