Shopping for R5o Hard Drive

#1 Post by teladoy » Wed Aug 05, 2009 11:48 am

Thanks to Harryc I have found what I need IDE/ATA/ATA-6/ULTRA DMA/100.
Seen many lose couple in ebay did not try hard I may want a new one so the question is Best Buy have some nice prices Yes don't laugh. But they are EIDE which are wider I was wonder YES or NO.

Thank you

That's not a bad price, but you can get it cheaper here, though you can't have it today like if you were to buy it from BestBuy. I believe PATA and SATA drives have the same dimensions. They don't re-invent the wheel too often.

FredGarvin:
The link you give me is a SATA and if you open the link I post they say 2.75" and EIDE so I asking, Would the BB work because with BB you get it at a moment and if if goes wrong goes back same day.
I will go directly to Western Digital think may be a mistake of print but would a EIDE work on my new R50?

Whoops on my part. You're right that is SATA. I think as long as it's a 2.5" PATA drive, which it seems the drive at BestBuy is, it will work. If it doesn't, as you've noted, it should be easily returned to BestBuy.
