richcornucopia Posted January 23, 2006 CID Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yep they are identical, so make sure you buy a sata replacement drive. You might want to look into sata 3, its theoretically twice as fast and even if your current motherboard doesn't suppport it you can buy it anyway and it will run at sata 150(the kind you have) speeds, so its a good move for the future.

Swimmer Posted January 24, 2006 CID Share Posted January 24, 2006 yeah.. i agree with richcornucopia.. Look into the Sata3 series. I have found that the Maxtor DiamondMax 10 are awesome drives! They range from about 80gig to 300gig.. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10722-hard-drive-help/#findComment-112222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
