resopalrabotnick Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 ok. the red cable would be the serial ata cable and there should also be a power connector. the problem is the circuit city site doesn't say wether or not the comp has a standard ata interface, which is what the drive you picked needs. it should, but i don't know how far out there sony is concerning proprietary system setups. you would need to check your documentation wether or not you have it, or post here what brand/model the mobo is. also, you might want to check other dealers than circuit city for the harddrive. i know that my local costco usually has a nice hdd for sale, at a good price. newegg, tigerdirect etc. also are good places to .look for a deal. things to consider are: do you want a bleeding fsat hdd or is size more important. or both. shop and compare before you buy.

peepnklown Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 The Sony VGC-RB44G should have another SATA connection. SATA PICS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resopalrabotnick Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 of course it should have another satas, the question is wether it has an ide to run that drive he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

organ_shifter Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 Keep it Serial ATA150 as it's faster & much cleaner (you have plenty room left for connection): Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3300831AS 300GB 7200 RPM 8M Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive Here is the drive your looking at from your link, but cheaper (IDE version): Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3300831A 300GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlewis23 Posted November 5, 2005 CID Share Posted November 5, 2005 x_6985381 if you go with this HD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144421 its much faster then the seagate because the cache is 16mb insted of 8mb and it costs less then the seagate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
