Will this HD work in 600E?

[dsigma6]

Good morning...

Lookin to buy a new HD for the 600E- can anyone tell me if this will work, I'm not sure about the ATA stuff.

Hitachi 40GB 5400rpm 2.5" Notebook Hard Drive

Capacity: 40GB
RPM: 5400
Interface: ATA-6
Data Buffer (MB): 8
Interface Transfer Rate (MB/sec - max): 100MB/sec Ultra DMA mode-5

I read something that the 600E is ATA-5, but either way I don't know what it means and whats compatible. Also, do you have to mess with the BIOS to get a 40GB to work?

Yes, it will work.

All new HDs are backwards compatible with earlier ATA specifications.

Regards,

James

thanks for the reply. im starting to think about getting a T2X though, because i dont know if its worth it to dump even more money into this 7 year old machine.
