    confused on hdd
    « on: January 19, 2015, 05:00:00 AM »
    hello I need to buy a new hdd and my hard drive is MK8032GSX 80GB HDD2D32
    Interface is ATA
    Transfer  is SATA/150
    tried looking on god's creation but ones that I found where way out there on price. cheapest one was $100 bucks plus shipping from England. any way my question is can anyone tell me a comprible hard drive that I can buy which is fairly cheap because I never bought a hard drive and I really need exact numbers and exact brand names or whatever so I can get a hard drive to replace the one that's slowly dying so help if anyone can

    thanks a lot

    You can buy any 2.5 inch SATA hard drive, no need to match the model exactly, and it should be much cheaper than that - half at most I would imagine, for a much higher capacity drive.
    If you let us know whereabouts in the world you are, I'm sure we'll be able to find some links for drives that'll work for you.

      As Calum stated any 2.5" SATA HDD will be a fine replacement...

      If you're unsure of what to look for, please post any sites you can buy from in Japan and we'll see if we can find what you need.
