Laptop hard drive ??

rizay · 06-28-2008, 04:27 PM

I have two laptops that I would like to get new hard drives for. I have been searching around but I am now really confused. I have a NCS atlas with a pentium m 1.3 processor. The other is an HP omnibook 6000 with an 800 processor. I pulled both drives out. They are the same length and width. However, they are not the same thickness.

My question is, how can I tell the thickness of a hard drive when I try to buy one? I have searched on ebay for both laptop brands of hard drive but no luck.

Any thoughts?

I would think you could go to the support website, and get more info on your hdd of your laptops.

you just need to search for a 2,5 inch hdd, sata or ide, depending on you lap.

It will probably be a 2.5" sata hard drive if it is newer. My last 3 laptops have had them, but you should make sure.
