A lil tech help please...

Post by J0nn0666 »

So......Been having a few little problems with my laptop,and years of experience with PC's lead me to believe the harddrive may be on it's way to FUBAR!So,i'd like to replace it,but wanna make sure i get the correct one.I know for definite it's SATA,but other than that i know nothing.
How do i make sure i get the correct size(dimensions wise) to fit my laptop?

Almost all laptops have 2,5" HDDs, so you should be fine buying one of these. Or you can download program like AIDA64 and scan your hardware and see exactly what type and model is your current HDD, so you can be safe :)
