New Laptop hard drive question.

-ADREN- · 2007-01-06 12:31:07

I have an acer aspire 5650. I was just wondering can you just buy any 2.5 IDE hard drive and stick it in it? Like this one from komplett for instance. Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 100GB 7200RPM IDE ATA/100 2,5 http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=313242 Regards, Coz.

Generally speaking, yes.

Just double check your laptops doesn't have any unusual connectors or anything. In 99% of cases, you should be fine.
