    Will my Laptop work on this HDD?
    « on: March 30, 2010, 04:14:29 AM »
    My Laptop is NEC Lavie LL750/B which I bought in 2002 from Japan. Because my Toshiba 2.5" 80GB HDD which came in my Laptop stopped functioning, I ordered the SAMSUNG HM160HC 160GB 2.5" IDE PATA HARD DRIVE HDD online . I am pretty sure that my Toshiba HDD is 2.5" and 44 pins but I just want you guys opinions;
    Here is the pic of my Toshiba HDD: http://www.flickr.com/photos/48698505@N04/
    This is the HDD that I ordered: http://www.expresspcparts.com.au/Items/hdd-360-alt-hm160hc?&caSKU=hdd-360-alt-hm160hc&caTitle=SAMSUNG%20HM160HC%20160GB%202.5%22%20IDE%20PATA%20HARD%20DRIVE%20HDD
    What do you guys think? Did I order the right HDD for my Laptop?

      Yes it should be ok. Newer IDE PATA drives are backwards compatible so it should work, probably slower as is capable but still ok for your notebook.
