Please help identify my HD so I can order a replacement for a Samsung SV6003H

[Learnmorexp]

I need to replace my hard drive.  It is a Samsung 60gb model SV6003H.

It has a 39pin connector and a 4 pin connector with an 8 pin between the
4 and 39 pin connectors.

What type of HD do I look for?  I don't know how to identify if it is a
 SATI, EIDE, etc.  I haven't been able to determine this. 

I've been looking for info/pictures of connectors with no luck.  Can you help
 identify this HD type for me.  Where is a good place to hunt down this
 information for future searches for HD, DVD, etc.?



Thanks,

That ''8 pin'' sounds like your jumper setting pins.  Should be a diagram on HDD label to show jumper options using a jumper connector. .... often no jumper connector can mean master.

The multi pin connection you describe should be EIDE and the 4 pin other the power connector.

The ''newer'' SATA data connection is small and very different and does not use the ribbon type cable - and the power connector (plug) is not the semi clear plastic with two blacks and yellow and red.
