Need help with Hard Drive

#1 Post by teladoy » Wed Mar 18, 2009 12:22 pm

I like to purchase this one:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDe ... e=10008894

Capacity 320GB
Interface SATA II
Rotation speed 7200 RPM
Buffer size 16MB
Form factor 2.5"
Avg Seek Time 12 ms
Avg Latency 4.2 ms

I have a R60 9457-A49

Would this one work on my system?

Do I need other parts when I replace it?

I will appreciate your help.

Thank you

This drive will work. Whether you need additional parts depends on what you want to do with your existing drive and how you want to move the data from the existing drive to the new one, if at all. If you want to move the data/OS, you'll need either an Ultrabay slim SATA HD adapter or an external USB 2.0 enclosure for a 2.5" SATA drive. Then you can either install the OS on the new drive from scratch (i.e., the recovery disks) and copy any additional data over from the old drive or you can clone the old drive onto the new drive (there are plenty of threads around here describing how to do the latter).
